Beta radiation is a type of ionizing radiation consisting of high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei during the decay process. This form of radiation can penetrate materials more effectively than alpha particles but is less penetrating than gamma rays, making it significant in both natural and engineered contexts, including medical applications and radiation safety.
congrats on reading the definition of beta radiation. now let's actually learn it.
