Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
A Beta- particle is an electron, which has negative charge.Here are some other types: Alpha is a helium nucleus, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons (having positive charge). Positron is the antiparticle to electron. Positrons have positive charge. Gamma does not have charge. Neutrons do not have charge. Neutrinos do not have charge.
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
Gamma radiation is the most penetrating type of radiation emitted from naturally radioactive isotopes. It consists of electromagnetic waves with high energy and can penetrate through most materials, including thick layers of concrete and lead.
A radioactive element is an element with an unstable nucleus that emits radiation as it decays into a more stable form. This radiation can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Radiation emitted by radioactive elements can pose health risks and is used in various applications such as medical imaging and energy production.
I would expect the total radiation to be equal to the sum of the individual radiations.

Radiation is emitted from radioactive substances due to the spontaneous decay of unstable atomic nuclei. This decay process releases energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves, which are collectively referred to as radiation.
The half-life of the radioactive material, the type of decay process, and the initial quantity of radioactive material are physical factors that do not affect the amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive source. Radiation emission is solely determined by the intrinsic properties of the radioactive material itself.
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
The initial atom is transformed in another atom.
The electromagnetic radiation emitted from radioactive elements is released in the form of gamma rays. Gamma rays are high-energy photons that are produced during radioactive decay processes, such as alpha and beta decay. This radiation is highly penetrating and can travel significant distances through matter.
Radioactive materials emit particles or energy in the form of radiation. The amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive material depends on its specific properties and decay process. Radiation is typically measured in units such as becquerels (Bq) or curies (Ci), which indicate the rate of radioactive decay.
Yes, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive elements during radioactive decay processes. They are high-energy photons with no mass or charge, and can penetrate through materials easily.
The minimum frequency of radiation emitted by a radioactive nucleus is proportional to its energy. This frequency is related to the energy by the equation E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency. Therefore, the minimum frequency of radiation emitted by a radioactive nucleus depends on the specific energy released during the radioactive decay process.
Radiation injuries are caused by ionizing radiation emitted by sources such as the sun, x-ray and other diagnostic machines, tanning beds, and radioactive elements
