First off, I'm confused about what radiation even is because many sites make it so confusing. So what is it? Also how is it different from radioactive decay?What is the difference between Radiation and Radioactive decay?
radiation is the name of the type of energy that can travel through a vacuum; radiation is also used to refer to the process of producing this kind of energy
radioactive decay is a process in which a nucleus emits either a particle (an alpha or beta particle) or radiation (a gamma ray which is a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation)
hope this helps clarify
