What else can I help you with?
Energy and high-speed atomic particles released during a nuclear reaction are called?
Can be alpha, beta particles in radioactive decay, or neutrons in fission. There is also gamma ray energy which is part of the EM spectrum I believe the answer your looking for is Radiation
What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
What are spectrographs?
Spectrographs are instruments that separate EM radiation (primarily light) into a spectrum of frequencies and record the data. The intensity of radiation at the different frequencies can be used to ascertain information about the source of the radiation or the material through which it is passing.
Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?
Alpha and beta radiation are not included in the electromagnetic spectrum because they are composed of particles (alpha particles are helium nuclei, beta particles are electrons or positrons) and not electromagnetic waves like those included in the spectrum (e.g., radio waves, microwaves, visible light). Alpha and beta radiation are forms of nuclear radiation emitted from the decaying nucleus of an atom.
What are the types of nuclear radiations?
Alpha, beta, and gamma are the main ones. Alpha is the ejection of alpha particles which are 2 protons plus 2 neutrons, which is a helium nucleus. Beta particles are electrons. Gamma radiation is EM radiation of very high frequency, beyond x-rays.

How can you recognize EM radiation?
EM radiation can be detected by a variety of devices according to its frequency and its amplitude. For example, a radio receiver (Marconi effect) can be used to detect EM radiation in the radio range, your eyes or a photometer (photoelectric effect) for EM rads in the visible, IR and UV range, thermoluminescent detectors can be used for ionizing EMs, etc. One simple way to differentiate between EM radiation and particulate radiation is to place a plastic or thin metal shield between the detector and the source. Particulate radiation, such as alpha, beta, positron, typically will not penetrate plastic shielding, and your count rate or exposure levels will decrease. Whereas EMR is penetrable, and will traverse the plastic, needing something more substantial, such as lead, before showing signs of significant reduction in exposure.
Define radiation?
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
What is the difference of alpha beta and gamma radiation?
These are types of both particulate and electromagnetic radiation, and alpha and beta are the former while gamma is the latter. Let's look at each one in brief. An alpha particle is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons all hooked together. It's a helium-4 nucleus, and it's particulate radiation. A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation (an electromagnetic ray) of very high frequency and energy (which also means very short wavelength). A beta particle is one of two types of particles, either a beta plus particle or a beta minus particle. The beta minus particle is an electron, and a beta plus particle is a positron, or anti-electron (antimatter). Beta radiation is particulate radiation. What is key to understanding these guys is how they are formed. Use the links below to the three questions that specifically speak to the characteristics of each of these types of radiation. These questions are already posted and answered here; no need for repetition.
From Where does the energy carried by an EM wave come?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a name for different types of radiation. Most radiation comes from the sun. Want more info?

We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
Is radiation the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic?
It's the emission of electromagnetic energy from something, not the transfer. That em-radiation could travel for ever across the universe, never interacting with anything ever again and it would still be radiation.________________________________________________________Not all radiation is electromagnetic engery. Electromagnetic energy is transfered by way of photons. Photons are emited through gamma radiation and black body radiation. Nuclear decay of alpha particles and beta particles (which are also considered radiations) are actual particles that have mass, and are not electromagnetic radiation.
What does electromagnetic have to do with EM radiation?
EM is short for electromagnetic.
Does fat produce more scatter radiation than lean muscle?
That depends on the kind of radiation you're talking about. There are two basic "flavors" of radiation - particulate radiation and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Electromagnetic radiation, particularly the high energy kind, is best stopped by materials containing elements with large nuclei and having a high density. Lead is in common usage as an X-ray shield because it has "fat" nuclei and the atoms are pretty close together. As only atomic nuclei are generally effective is scattering high energy EM radiation, anything with elements with large nuclei and high density will be more effective in dealing with something like an X-ray or gamma ray. As regards particulate radiation, a sheet of aluminum foil will stop alpha and beta radiation without difficulty. There will be little if any difference between the ability of fat or muscle to stop an alpha or beta particle. Consider what has been provided, then review the chemistry of fat and of muscle. Decide which tissue has elements that have heavier nuclei and which are more dense. Don't forget to include things like blood and other fluids. (Blood's red cells have an iron atom in the middle.)
