Types of Radiation
-
Beta
-
The fast moving, high energy electron is the beta particle
-
-
Radioactivity
-
Radioisotopes emit the extra energy as radiation, to become more stable, by splitting up
Half life
-
To find the half life on a graph, find the amount of half the sample, go across horizontally till the curved line, go down to the axis then you know the half life
Ionisation
Ionising radiation is when radiation collides with neutral atoms or molecules it alters their structure by knocking off electrons leaving behind ions.
