Made up of two protons and two neutrons.
Cannot even go through a few centimeters of air.
It is a kind of helium.
Two ways it can be used in real life: medicine and smoke detectors.
Alpha
2
Beta
Emerge with a variable energy.
A high energy electron.
Comes from the nucleus of an atom.
Two ways it can be used in real life: treatment procedures and medical diagnostic
3
Gamma Rays
Have the smallest wavelengths.
The most energetic form of light.
Produced by the hottest regions of the universe.
Two ways it can be used in real life: medical and astronomical.
4
Rates of Nuclear Decay:
Half-Life: the time taken for the radioactivity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original value.
5
Radioactive Dating
Find the age of a mummy case, containing the remains of a cat.
6
Fission
When conduct electricity from power plants.
Fission can trigger a chain reaction. Like a crane lowers drums of radioactive waste into a landfill.
7
Fusion
The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey was one of the very few fusion reactors that have been built.
The way the sun gets it's energy is a real world example.
