Understanding Radiation Similar to X-rays: Gamma Rays, Beta Particles & Neutrons

* Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that are similar to X-rays, but have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency. They are produced by the decay of radioactive nuclei, and are also emitted by some medical imaging devices.

* Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons that are emitted by radioactive nuclei. They can interact with matter to produce X-rays and gamma rays.

* Neutron radiation is a type of particle radiation that is produced by nuclear reactions. Neutrons can interact with matter to produce X-rays and gamma rays.
