It turns out that caesium-133 (or 133Cs or cesium-133, if you prefer an alternate spelling) is stable. It is the only stable isotope of caesium, and, as such, it won't be emitting any radiation under normal circumstances. Wikipedia has some particulars on caesium, and a link is provided.

How did Cesium get its name?
the cesium got its answer through the "skys blue" name it was given through the discoverer Fustov Kirchoff
Heat given off by a fire in a fire place is an example of?
Radiation
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time?
frequency
What are the radiations given out by the sun?
The radiation given off by the sun is electromagnetic waves. The waves are made up of two types of rays ultraviolet and infrared.
What type of radiation is given off in the nuclear reaction 14 6 C 14 7 N plus?
A single electron is emitted from the carbon atom. This is usually called beta radiation.
What unit is detarmined by the frequency of the radiation given off by celsium-133?
The unit of time, the second, is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the fundamental state of de cesium-133
How do you find energy when given frequency?
The energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation is(Photon's frequency) times (Planck's Konstant) .
How are the wavelength and energy of electromagnetic radiation related?
The energy of one photon is given by its frequency X planck's constant Its frequency is given by the speed of light divided by the wavelength.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has highest level of energy how can you tell?
Energy (E) of photons of electromagnetic radiation is given by Planck's equation ..E = hf .. h = Planck constant (6.625^-34 Js), f = frequency (Hz)So E is proportional to frequency .. radiation with the highest frequency is Gamma
Is there any completely incoherent light?
It's not clear exactly what you mean by "completely incoherent." Blackbody radiation is given off at any angle and any phase, but the shape of the intensity/frequency curve is determined by the temperature; is that close enough to "completely incoherent"?
What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.

The what Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves?
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
How many photons are in a 1.00 mJ burst of this radiation?
Each photon has ( h · f ) joules of energy.( ' h ' is Planck's Konstant. ' f ' is the frequency of the radiation.)In order to collect 1 mJ of energy from the radiation, you have to gather up(0.001)/( h · f ) photons. ' h ' is Planck's Konstant, 6.63 x 10-34 joule-second.' f ' is the frequency of the radiation, which is not given in the question.
How does Longitudinal waves detect the position of an object?
The Doppler effect is used in radar to provide information regarding the speed of moving targets by measuring the frequency shift between the emitted and the reflected radiation. A transmitter produces pulsed radio frequency radiation. It is fed to a movable aerial from which it is transmitted as a beam. When the beam strikes the moving vehicle a part of the energy of the radiation is reflected back to the aerial. Signals received by the aerial are passed to the receiver, where they are amplified and detected. There will be a shift in frequency of the reflected wave and emitted wave due to the Doppler effect. The apparent frequency of the reflected wave is given by F = f ( 1 - v/c ) where v is the speed at which the source and the observer are moving apart and c is the speed of electromagnetic radiation, f is the real frequency or the frequency of the emitted signal The output of the detector is usually displayed on a cathode ray tube. The apparent frequency is measured and thus the speed of the vehicle is calculated. A heterodyne device may also be used in which beats are produced by superimposing the emitted radio wave over the reflected (from the vehicle) radio wave. In the heterodyne wave meter, a variable frequency local oscillator is adjusted to give predetermined beat frequency with the incoming reflected wave, enabling the frequency of the reflected wave which has had Doppler shift to be determined. Thus the speed of the vehicle can be determined.
What determines the pitch of a sound wave?
Pitch is determined by the frequency of the wave; intensity (loudness) is determined by the wave's amplitude.The vibrating source moves in some kind of periodic way, and this periodic motion will have some given period. The period of a wave is the time it takes for one cycle of that wave, and the number of cycles of a given wave per unit of time is the frequency of that waveform.
What is long wavelength radiation given out by stars?
Infrared radiation is long wavelength radiation given out by stars.
