☢Part One - Radioactivity in Food☢ and How to Use Your Geiger Counter

[AluminumStudios]

I believe you are wrong about beta radiation. Beta radiation (electrons) come from neutrons decaying into protons. I believe one of the down quarks in the neutron changes to an up quark and emits a W boson which subsequently decays into an electron and a neutrino. THAT is the source of the electron. Beta doesn't come from the electron cloud.

@AluminumStudios Your are correct most events. Qantum change can be from uud to ddu, but also the inverse too. Beta emotion is not confined to merely isometric adjustment of nucleons. Electrons can be freed from shells and given relativistic energies. Cosmic rays causes particle showers all of the time which include these. Also, remember that positions are also beta as well as electron capture. I gave the simplest, but not the most common explanation. Thanks for the note

@AluminumStudios  This leads me to the need to produce a short video detailing corrections. I might take the time to produce a video detailing each type in detail, as well as the many sources of each radiation. It sounds like you know what your talking about, so you know that each source of radiation can have many sources and configurations.

This video has a high-dose rate of knowledge!

I'm pretty sure the electrons emitted via beta radiation do not slow down

[antiprotons]

@sciroccoguy That may be true, but consider this: An electron has mass and velocity, therefore it has momentum... Correct? (p=mv) It is affected by various feilds it encounters and there is change to it's momentum. In reality, they are loosing their kenetic energy as they bend their trajectories... This is analogous to "slowing down" insomuch as anything can be at the point where the line between a wave and a particle becomes fuzzy. Good point though

[sciroccoguy]

@antiprotons then why do electrons not slow down when contained in an atom? It is believed that electrons are not affected by friction and behave as waves in many respects.

Nice amethyst geode.

@MegaMaxemus Thanks! I bought it at a silent auction I attended in Fredericksburg Virginia. It only cost me 60 dollars. Wha a steal!

[FatimaSole]

thanks!!!!

@FatimaSole No problem! Testing food with a small hand held geiger counter is VERY difficult, but it can be done if you have the time and the care to do so. I will post an example of it working, a full multi hour test, in a few days. Cheers!

@antiprotons looking forward to it!!! your videos are really helpful! Cheers!!
