| X rays are a type of | radiation |
| Radiation from the Sun is | electromagnetic radiation |
| The Rainbow provides illustrates | the visible spectrum of light |
| If the frequency of a wave increases | its wavelength decreases |
| Atoms emitting radiation are | radioactive |
| Naturally occurring radioactive nuclei | can emit three types of radiation |
| Alpha, Beta and Gamma are | types of radiation |
| Alpha and Beta radiation consist of | particles |
| Gamma radiation is a form of | electromagnetic radiaiton |
| Three common isotopes of carbon are | Carbon 12, Carbon 13, Carbon 14 |
| Different isotopes of an element have | the same chemical properties |
| When an unstable nucleus emits | radiation it undergoes radioactive decay |
| A change in the type of nucleus is | called a nuclear tranmutation |
| Atoms losing one or more electrons | ions |
| sunblock | decreases your exposure to radiation |
| Pierre Curie discovered | piezoelectricity |
| The Special Theory of Radiation was published | by Albert Einstein in 1905 |
| Neutrons produced by nuclear fission | make a chain reaction |
| The smallest mass in which a chain reaction | can be sustained is the critical mass |
| Total number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus | Mass Number |
