Answer:The unstable nucleus of radioactive atoms emit radiation. When this occurs, a new atom and element are formed. This process is called radioactive decay. It continues until the forces in the unstable nucleus are balanced.

Witch wave is mad up of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that can move through space at the speed of light

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Hiya! Your answer would be an Electromagnetic Wave.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic Wave is an electromagnetic wave that travels through space at the speed of light at about 300,000 kilometers per second. So when we talk about light traveling in waves, we can also talk about frequency, or the number of wavelengths that pass a certain point in a given length of time. We usually measure this as the number of wavelength cycles that pass per second. The units for this measurement are Hertz (hz).

So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. This means that more cycles can pass by the set point in 1 second. Likewise, a light wave that has a longer wavelength will have a lower frequency because each cycle takes a longer time to complete.

Hope I helped and I hope you get it right! :). Have a lovely day my friend!
