Chapter 12.10, Problem 12.33YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Best and worst radiation used for detection through tissues has to be identified among alpha, beta, gamma, or positron emission.

Concept introduction:

In the radioactive decay process the unstable isotopes loses their energy by emitting radiation in order to attain stable species. It is converted in to stable isotopes by emitting positron ${}_{+1}^0\beta$ , gamma ${}_0^0\gamma$ , Beta $\beta$, alpha ${}_2^{4}He$ and or by electron capture ${}_{-1}^{0}e$ .
