Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
What else can I help you with?
IS Nuclear power is the only energy source which gives off radiation?
No, nuclear power is not the only energy source that gives off radiation. Coal-fired power plants, for example, also release radioactive materials into the environment. However, nuclear power plants do release more radiation than other energy sources.
Does fire give off radiation?
Yes, fire gives off radiation in the form of heat and light.
What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
Why does a light bulb give off radiation?
A light bulb gives off radiation in the form of light when the filament inside it heats up to a high temperature, causing it to glow and emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. This radiation is what we perceive as light.
The sun gives off what type of energy?
The sun gives off electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. This energy is essential for life on Earth as it drives the planet's climate and weather systems.
An element that gives off nuclear radiation?
Radium is an example
An element that gives off nuclear radiation is said to be?
Radioactive
What is an element that gives off radiation as it slowly changes into a nonradioactive element called?
This is a radioactive chemical element.
Is nuclear fuel safe to use?
yes... nuclear fuel actually gives off less radiation than average nuclear plants.
As uranium gives off radiation it is said to?
Uranium is a natural, radioactive chemical element.
How is nuclear energy accessible to the public?
the sunlight gives off a form of radiation which causes sun burns.
What is the name of the metal that creates nuclear energy?
Hydrogen gives off radiation, but uranium is more known for it's nuclear radioactivity due to its use in nuclear reactors.
Why could a room heated by a coal fire feel uncomfortably draughty?
coal gives off nuclear radiation
Why only radioactive element give out radiation?
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
IS Nuclear power is the only energy source which gives off radiation?
No, nuclear power is not the only energy source that gives off radiation. Coal-fired power plants, for example, also release radioactive materials into the environment. However, nuclear power plants do release more radiation than other energy sources.
Did the light from the hiroshima bomb blind people?
Yes they were. See the nuclear explosion gives off radiation. you could get blind by the light, or radiation, radiation is energy transmitted in rays. So yes.
What does nuclear waste do to you?
The nuclear waste gives off radiation. That radiation in large enough doses changes DNA in cells. When the DNA changes sometimes the cells can become cancerous. In even higher doses the cells will die.
