 Beta Radiation Summary
752 words, approx. 3 pages Beta radiation is the emission of an electron from the nucleus of a radioactive isotope. This electron comes from one of the neutrons in an unstable nucleus. The weak nuclear force is involved, and the neutron is converted into a proton when the beta... summary from source:
 Beta Particle Summary
380 words, approx. 1 pagesHenri Becquerel discovered the ability of certain materials to give off radiation spontaneously ( radioactivity) in 1896. The logical follow-up question to this discovery was what the nature of that radiation was. At first, Becquerel thought the... summary from source:
 Beta Particle Summary
95 words, approx. 0 pagesAn electron emitted by the nucleus of a radioactive atom. The beta particle is produced when a neutron within the nucleus decays into a proton and an electron. Beta particles have greater penetrating power than alpha particles but less than x-ray or... summary from source:
 Beta particle Information
388 words, approx. 1 pages
Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium-40. The beta particles emitted are a form of ionizing radiation also known as beta rays. The production of beta particles...

Science News Unraveling the details of beta decay. (beta particles)
01/11/1992: 239 words, approx. 1 pages Many radioactive atoms decay by emitting beta particles, or electrons, thereby transforming themselves into new elements. For each atomic isotope, these beta particles emerge from nuclei with a characteristic distribution, or spectrum, of energies. Theorist Steven E. Koonin of the California Institute of Technology... summary from source:
 Spectroscopy The Electromagnetic Spectrum: A History
3/1/2007: 2,014 words, approx. 7 pagesWhen a person says the word "light," a listener — even a spectroscopist — usually interprets that as meaning "visible light." That's not unexpected, because throughout most of recorded history the only light that we recognized was light that we could see. However, that changed...
