Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?

X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.


Are X-rays similar to beta rays?

Though both are forms of ionizing radiation, an X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, while a beta ray is actually a beta particle. The beta particle is a form of particulate radiation, and the beta particle could be either an electron or a positron.


Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?

Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.


Is an X-ray an alpha ray or beta ray or gamma ray?

An x-ray is a short wavelength, high frequency, high energy electromagnetic radiation lying between ultra-violet and gamma rays on the EM spectrum. Because they are so energetic, they can easily penetrate light materials (such as biological tissue), but are blocked by denser materials (such as metals or bone) X-rays, which were discovered in 1895 by German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen. They are produced when high-speed electrons, accelerated by a high voltage, collide with nuclei in a metal target. The x-ray spectrum consists of a continuous bremsstrahlung emission, and characteristic, narrow emission lines which are specific to the material in the target. When incident upon a surface, x-rays diffract, enabling us to determine properties of the material, such as its composition and structure.


What radiation produces ionization?

Ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet rays, can produce ionization by removing electrons from atoms or molecules, creating charged particles called ions. This process can lead to chemical changes in matter and potential harm to living organisms.

Includes x-rays and uv?

X-Rays and Ultraviolet, along with Infrared, Infragreen, Gamma-rays, Beta-Rays and others are all part of the invisible portion of the light spectrum.


What radiation is released in the first 60 seconds after the detonation?

Light, thermal, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, beta. Later the fallout will release alpha, beta, and gamma rays.


Can you produce x-ray by protons?

yes x-rays can be produce by proton


Do X-rays produce heat energy?

X-rays do not produce heat energy themselves. However, when X-rays interact with matter, they can deposit energy, which may result in heating of the material they interact with.


What type of radiation ionises substances?

Ionizing radiation includes alpha, beta, and gamma rays, X-rays, and some UV rays. These types of radiation have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions.


What four basic types of ionizing radiation are?

The four basic types of ionizing radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays. Alpha particles are composed of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are electrons or positrons. Gamma rays and X-rays are electromagnetic radiation.


What type of rays do x rays transmit?
