Radiobiology
Beta radiation is a type of ionizing radiation that consists of high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei during radioactive decay. This form of radiation can penetrate materials to a moderate extent and can pose health risks, particularly when absorbed by living tissues, making it important to understand in the context of radiation exposure and its biological effects.
congrats on reading the definition of beta radiation. now let's actually learn it.
