Question
Chapter 8, Problem 24E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between exposure of human body to external and internal sources of radioactivity is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The nuclei that are heavy and unstable, undergo the process of decay and lose their counter parts in order to gain stability. This process is known as radioactive decay or radioactivity.
Radioactive decay involves the emission of three types of radiations known as alpha, beta and gamma radiations.
