The three types of nuclear emission — Core Learning Objectives
Note
- Describe the emission of radiation from a nucleus as spontaneous and random in direction
- Identify alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) emissions from the nucleus by recalling: (a) their nature (b) their relative ionising effects (c) their relative penetrating abilities (β+ are not included, β-particles will be taken to refer to β−)
