Gamma rays.
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
Particles or electromagnetic waves
Oh honey, a proton is about as radioactive as a teddy bear. Protons are stable particles found in the nucleus of an atom, not some wild emission causing havoc. So, no need to worry about those little guys causing any radioactive chaos.
Radioactive emissions are particles or energy released from unstable atoms. Most humans are exposed to radioactive emissions through natural sources like the sun and radon gas, as well as medical procedures like X-rays and radiation therapy. Other sources include nuclear power plants, food, and consumer products.
Radioactive material is a substance that gives off high-energy particles or rays, such as alpha, beta, or gamma radiation, due to its unstable atomic structure. These emissions can pose health risks if not handled properly.
Uranium primarily emits alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays as it undergoes radioactive decay. These emissions can ionize air molecules and create potentially harmful effects on living organisms. Proper precautions and safety measures are necessary when handling uranium or its radioactive decay products.

Gamma rays
They originate in the nucleus of the atom.
Elements that emit atomic particles are typically referred to as radioactive elements. These elements undergo radioactive decay and emit particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays as they try to become more stable.
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
