The Basics Of Radiation

[@GeigerCounterVirtualMuseum]

Very impressed again. I learned a lot from this video.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! I enjoy teaching about different topics of radiation and showing off my detectors.

I meanly play brawl stars but I like this video so much because you talk things pretty specifically and I learn a lot of things, and also I think you forgot about neutron radiation and x rays.

@@Kitty-2010-d9b Thanks! There isn’t always a clear difference between x-rays and gamma. There are plenty of types of radiation that I probably should have mentioned, like neutrons, but there are also less common ones. Like muons (found in cosmic rays) and protons can also be emitted as radiation.

Hi can you create new elements by putting something right next to an alpha emitter?

@@Kitty-2010-d9b Not with an alpha emitter, but it’s possible to do with a neutron source.
