Plutonium 239 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons
Uranium 235 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons
Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.
Plutonium is especially an alpha particles emitter.
Radiation exposure is being exposed to radiation (as x rays, gamma, beta, neutrons, alpha, ...etc) but contamination is breathing or ingesting something polluted with contaminants as mercury, carbon dioxide, uranium, plutonium, arsenic, ...etc
Uranium minerals emit radiation that causes silver halide crystals in photographic film to undergo a process known as fogging. This fogging results in darkening of the film, affecting the quality of images produced.
Radioactive decay of uranium-235 is a process in which the nucleus of a uranium-235 atom transforms into a more stable nucleus by emitting radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, as well as gamma rays. This decay results in the formation of daughter isotopes and the release of energy.
Various radioactive substances such as Plutonium and Uranium give off a combination of alpha, beta and gamma rays as the isotope decays.
No. X-rays are generated by a vacuum tube, something like the picture tube in an old-style TV. The regions of the electromagnetic spectrum identified as "X-rays" and "gamma rays" overlap; radiation resulting from an electronic energy transition is an "X-ray" and radiation resulting from a nuclear process is a "gamma ray" even if the two have exactly the same wavelength.
Atoms with unstable nuclei, such as uranium, radium, and plutonium, can release nuclear radiation. This radiation can take the form of alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), or gamma rays (high-energy photons).
weapon with great explosive power that results from the sudden release of energy upon the splitting, or fission, of the nuclei of such heavy elements as plutonium or uranium. When a neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of the isotopes uranium 235 or plutonium-239, it causes that nucleus to split into two fragments, each of which is a nucleus with about half the protons and neutrons of the original nucleus. In the process of splitting, a great amount of thermal energy, as well as gamma rays and two or more neutrons, is released..
Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.
Yes, uranium isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma rays, beta rays, spontaneous fission neutrons.
* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons
Uranium has many applications but the use of emitted rays is not important.Uranium is used as nuclear fuel or for atomic bombs.
Plutonium is especially an alpha particles emitter.
Yes, uranium can leave rays which can pass the body and cause cancer or death.
