    Radiation & Radioactivity: Charity I. Mulig-Cruz MSU - Iligan Institute of Technology

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses radiation and radioactivity. It defines radiation as energy emitted in the form of waves or particles from unstable atomic nuclei during radioactive decay. There are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation comes from natural sources like radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, and radium in the Earth. It also comes from man-made sources like X-rays. Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of radiation from unstable nuclei during radioactive decay through alpha decay, beta decay, or gamma emission. The rate of radioactive decay is characterized by half-life, which is the time it takes for half the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.
