Question

Difference between natural radioactivity and artificial radioactivity (six points )

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Radioactivity occurring on it's own, without human intervention is called natural radioactivity, which happens in stars. Artificial radioactivity is when we manually destabilise certain elements.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathrm\red{Answer}$

As it is in other contexts, the idea of “natural” is essentially meaningless. All radiation is natural; it arises from the same physics of the situation in every case. Therefore natural and artificial radiation is the same thing and cannot be told apart from its cause, creation or effects.

Such facts don’t deter either lawmakers or advertising agencies. They have the god-given right to redefine terms as that wish, and therefore we have artificial radiation. Artificial radiation turns out to be radiation caused through the implementation of either nuclear weapons (usually their testing) or generated in nuclear power plants. This is as opposed to natural radiation which has existed in unmined rocks and bombarding us from outer space. By legislation, nuclear power plant waste is artificial, while that released by burning coal is natural, though either is equally able to cause cancer in rough proportion to its concentration.
