If you were Becquerel what are some possible tests that you can do to identify the radiation emitted by uranium salt?

Becquerel could use a Geiger counter to detect the presence of radiation emitted by the uranium salt. He could also perform a cloud chamber experiment to visualize the tracks created by the radiation particles. Additionally, he could use a gamma spectrometer to identify the specific type and energy of radiation emitted by the uranium salt.


What observation caused Henri Becquerel to pose another question?

Henri Becquerel observed that uranium salts emitted radiation that could pass through opaque materials. This led him to question what process was causing this radiation to be emitted from the uranium salts.


Why did becquerel leave his crystals in the sunlight for several hours?

Becquerel left his crystals in the sunlight to study the phenomenon of fluorescence. He discovered that the uranium crystals emitted radiation that fogged photographic plates, leading to the discovery of radioactivity.


What important discovery did Becquerel make upon examining a piece of pitchblende wrapped up in paper?

Becquerel discovered radioactivity while examining a piece of pitchblende wrapped in paper. He observed that the uranium-containing mineral emitted its own energy without an external source triggering it, leading to the groundbreaking discovery of natural radioactivity.


What did Henri becquerel discover about radiation emitted from uranium salts?

Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium salts emit a form of radiation that can penetrate opaque objects and fog photographic film. This phenomenon led to the discovery of radioactivity.

What experiment will you conduct to identify the radation emitted by the uranium salt?

For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room


What is a advantages of uranium rays?

Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.


What does uranium emits while it breaks down?

Fission fragments, neutrons, gamma radiations; and all the radiations emitted by these fission fragments.

What radiations are emitted by radium and polonium?

Radium and polonium are principally alpha emitters.


How radio isotopes can be identified?

Radioisotopes are identified by the halflife, type of radiations emitted, energy of these radiations, spectrometry (mass, gamma, alpha), etc.


Is it possible to get cancer from other peoples radiation that their body emits?

Don't think so.Because the 6C14 radiations are emitted by human bodies & these radiations have not been found as a "Carcinogen".But, yes this question needs some scientific researches to ensure the safety.You can find full information of 6C14 radiations from "Carbon dating method" section of Forensic science.


How is radioactivity stored?

This depends on the amount, specific activity, chemical form, type of emitted radiations.

Is ozone the most effective in absorbing radiation emitted by Earth?

Yes, it is. It absorbs most of the harmful radiations.
