RADIATION By Anthony Garrity
Topics • Alpha Emission • Beta Emission • Positron Emission • Electron Capture • Gamma Emission • Conclusion • Bibliography
Alpha Emission • Alpha Emission is a process that radioactive nucleus undergoes and emits a helium nucleus.
Beta Emission • A Beta Emission is the emission of an electron by a radionuclide.
Positron Emission • Positron Emission is Isotopes that have gone through beta decay.
Electron Capture • is an isotope decay mode that will happen when there are too many protons in an atom’s nucleus and insufficient energy to emit a positron
Gamma Emission • Gamma Emission is when a radioactive nucleus undergoes gamma emissionand emits a very high energy photon.
Conclusion • So, now you have a brief understanding of radiation and it’s emissions, which are Alpha Emission, Beta Emission, Positron Emission, Electron Capture, and Gamma Emission and what they look like.
