Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
Difference between a non-radioactive substance and a radioactive substance?
Radioactive elements are unstable and will decay into other elements in a decay chain. Non-radioactive elements are stable and won't commence into radioactive decay. Radioactive elements can be found from atomic number 84 onwards.
What kind of energy does a piece of radioactive metal use?
Nuclear energy. This is basically a form of kinetic energy. The structure of a radioactive material is very unstable, and as a result, they, at random, kick of particles or waves in the form of either Alpha, Beta or Gamma radiation. Alpha waves are Helium nuclei, and as a result are waaaay to big to be of any real harm. Beta particles are essentially electrons, and as such are a bit more tricky. They tend to get in places you don't want them to get. Gamma radiation is by far the most dangerous, as it is a wave and can penetrate several feet of metal. It is this energy that we harness and use to create fuel, or at least that is how I understand it.
Is sodium a molecular element?
A molescular species is informed about the height and power of the radioactive waves which were inferenced by sodiums almighty power
What is primarily released in radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic waves
Do outlets send out radioactive waves?
No, outlets do not send out radioactive waves.
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
Radioactive decay is the release of?
It depends on the type of decay. Alpha particles are helium nuclei, and contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are just electrons. And gamma particles are electromagnetic waves with very high frequencies.
Is Wi-Fi radioactive?
No, it is radio waves, not electromagnetic or radioactive.
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
What types of waves can hurt you or kill you?
Radioactive waves can be fatal.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
How do waves get their energy?
by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
What does being radioactive mean?
Exhibiting or caused by radioactivity.Radioactivity: the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay.Examples are radioactive isotopes [an unstable nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay], radioactive dating [the process by which the approximate age of an object is determined based on the amount of certain radioactive nuclides present], and radioactive decay [the spontaneous disintegration of a nucleus into a slightly lighter and more stable nucleus, accompanied by emission of particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both.]
