Alpha EmissionAlpha Emission

Alpha Emission is a process that radioactive nucleus undergoes and emits a helium nucleus.

Beta Emission

A Beta Emission is the emission of an electron by a radionuclide.

Positron EmissionPositron Emission

Positron Emission is Isotopes that have gone through beta decay.

Electron CaptureElectron Capture

is an isotope decay mode that will happen when there are too many protons in an atom’s nucleus and insufficient energy to emit a positron

Gamma EmissionGamma Emission

Gamma Emission is when a radioactive nucleus undergoes gamma emission and emits a very high energy photon.

ConclusionConclusion

So, now you have a brief understanding of radiation and it’s emissions, which are Alpha Emission, Beta Emission, Positron Emission, Electron Capture, and Gamma Emission and what they look like.
