What else can I help you with?
Radioactive decay is when unstable atoms?
give off nuclear radiation
Does radiation need atoms and molecules to work?
Radiation can interact with both atoms and molecules, but it does not necessarily need them to work. Radiation can propagate through a vacuum, such as in space, where there are very few atoms or molecules. However, when in contact with matter, radiation can cause ionization or excitation in atoms and molecules.
When atoms are moved by radiation in what direction do they move?
Atoms moved by radiation may move in random directions, depending on the type and energy of the radiation. The movement can be in any direction, not necessarily in a specific pattern.
Which type of radiation ionizes atoms and molecules?
Ionizing radiation includes alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. These forms of radiation have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms and molecules, resulting in the formation of ions.
What is the collective name of high energy particles and rays given off by the nuclei of atoms?
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
What energy do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal energy, also known as heat, in the form of infrared radiation. Thermal energy is a result of the motion of the atoms and molecules that make up the object.
Do all atoms have beta decay?
No. Many atoms do not decay at all. Many that do undergo alpha decay. A few atoms emit neutron radiation.
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?
All cell phones give off varying degrees of radiation.
What do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal radiation.
What objects in space give out ultraviolet?
All stars give out some ultraviolet light (including our Sun, which is why we get sunburn). If the star is young and hot, it gives off quite a lot, and if old and dim, only a little. All stars give off a wide spectrum of radiation, much of it invisible to our eyes. To calculate a star's total radiation, we use what is called a bolometric measurement. The atoms in gases can also give off ultraviolet if their electrons are sufficiently excited by cosmic radiation.
What radiation may due to atoms?
Ionizing radiation
What ray do all objects give off?
A 'ray' is a term for a radiation. All objects with temperatures above 0 degrees Kelvin give off radiation called, "Heat".

However, when in contact with matter, radiation can cause ionization or excitation in atoms and molecules.
Do all objects give off infrared?
Yes, all objects with a temperature above absolute zero give off infrared radiation. The intensity and wavelength of this radiation depend on the temperature of the object.
Do all objects give out the same amount of heat radiation?
No, all objects do not give out the same amount of heat radiation. The amount of heat radiation emitted by an object depends on its temperature and its surface area. Objects at higher temperatures emit more heat radiation than those at lower temperatures.
When atoms are moved by radiation in what direction do they move?
Atoms moved by radiation may move in random directions, depending on the type and energy of the radiation. The movement can be in any direction, not necessarily in a specific pattern.
