1.	Name the different radiations which are emitted by the radioactive substances. Are all the radiations mentioned by you, emitted in a single radioactive decay?
Answer» Following three radiations are emitted by the radioactive substances: (i) Alpha (α), (ii) Beta (β), and (iii) Gamma (γ). All the above radiations are not emitted in a single radioactive decay. There will be either an α emission or a β emission, which may be accompained by γ-emission.
