Welcome to the Amazing World of Radioactivity! ☢️
Have you ever wondered what makes certain materials glow in the dark or power entire cities? Dive into the exciting realm of radioactivity with Froge!
What is Radioactivity?
Radioactivity is the process by which unstable atomic nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation. This fascinating discovery, made by Henri Becquerel in 1896, has since been pivotal in both scientific research and practical applications!
Radiation Types
- Alpha Particles (α): Helium nuclei that can't penetrate human skin.
- Beta Particles (β): High-speed electrons or positrons, more penetrating than alpha particles.
- Gamma Rays (γ): High-energy electromagnetic waves with significant penetrating power.
Uses and Applications
From treating cancer to preserving food, radioactivity has a plethora of uses!
