Nuclear radiation is radiation that is emitted by atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes ( fusion...).
There are three types of nuclear radiation:-
1)Alpha----> the least penetrating of all, it can be stopped by a sheet of paper.
2)Beta----> more penertrating than alpha, less penetrating than gamma, can be stopped by an aluminum sheet.
3) Gamma-----> most penetrating, can be stopped by meters of concrete.
What else can I help you with?
What are three types of ionizing radiation that originates during nuclear decay?
The three types of ionizing radiation that originate during nuclear decay are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are helium nuclei with a double positive charge, beta particles are high-speed electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
What is the measuring unit of nuclear radiation?
Roentgen
Which nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest and most penetrating form of nuclear radiation. It consists of high-energy electromagnetic waves, similar to X-rays.
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Give the three kinds of technology?
nuclear,electrical, solar
What are three types of nuclear radiation?
Three types of nuclear radiation are alpha particles (consisting of two protons and two neutrons), beta particles (high-energy electrons or positrons), and gamma rays (high-energy electromagnetic radiation).
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What are three kinds of technology?
1] nuclear 2] electrical 3] solar
What are the three kinds of radiation?
· Alpha - a helium nucleus · Beta - a high speed electron · Gamma - an electromagnetic radiation of wavelength about 10-14 m.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
What has greatest mass of the three forms of nuclear radiation?
Alpha particles have the greatest mass of the three forms of nuclear radiation. They consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, which gives them a relatively high mass compared to beta particles and gamma rays.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
What is the relationship between nuclear radiation and nuclear fallout?
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
