AndreyR29 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I propose to combine, using emitters of electromagnetic waves and radiation, electromagnetic waves of different lengths - radio waves and radioactivity. So that there are ripples of radioactivity on an electromagnetic wave of high power and length (like ripples of small waves on a large sea wave). An electromagnetic wave of great length and power (radio wave) acts as a carrier of radioactivity. This can increase the distance of radioactivity and allow you to change the properties of radioactive elements over a long distance. Which can be used to deactivate radioactive waste from a safe distance. -1
MigL Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Paerticle radioactivity, such as Alpha and Beta radiation, cannot be modulated on Electromagnetic radiation.

Wavelength? Length of a light pulse? Btw radio waves are low-energy. What do you mean 'carry radioactivity'? Neutrons? Fissile material? Material for fusion? Electrons? (beta radiation) Helium nuclei? (alpha radiation). What you said is very ambiguous. x-posted with MigL Edited October 26 by joigus minor correction
AndreyR29 Posted October 26 Author Posted October 26 This can be determined experimentally by combining high-power electromagnetic waves and different types of radiation.

For example, directing electromagnetic and radioactive radiation in a cross direction and measuring the radioactivity level in the direction of electromagnetic radiation.

It’s simply the property of a nucleus being unstable and emitting energetic particles when it decays to a lower energy state. Those can be alphas, betas, gammas, neutrinos, protons, neutrons - they are the radiation. Of those, only gammas are massless, electromagnetic, and moving at c. For any other particle, differing speed would mean they would arrive at a target at different times if emitted from the same source simultaneously (though neutrinos would take a while) There is no “carrier of radioactivity” since that’s nonsensical.
AndreyR29 Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 This subject (radioactivity) requires further study.

Even for gamma rays that won’t achieve anything. Two sets of waves encountering one another at an angle will just pass through each other and emerge on the other side unchanged.

If a radioactive isotope decays only by capturing electrons (rare, useless for "radioactive waste"), or double electron capture, decay can be prevented by high-energy (= short wavelength) photons (which is exactly the opposite of what you said in the first post). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_capture#Reaction_details
AndreyR29 Posted November 3 Author Posted November 3 It is possible that this method can be used to speed up the decay of radioactive elements.

swansont Posted November 3 Posted November 3 44 minutes ago, AndreyR29 said: It is possible that this method can be used to speed up the decay of radioactive elements. In a very narrow way; you could cause a nuclear excitation, and the excited state could possibly have a shorter half-life (probably only for an isomeric state), which happens in K-38. (~8 min vs ~1 sec, IIRC) You might also cause a nucleon to be ejected, and end up with a shorter half-life, but that’s also unlikely. Hand-wavy assertions, though, are not a substitute for actual physics
AndreyR29 Posted November 3 Author Posted November 3 You are absolutely right - any statement requires proof. But I am only putting forward hypotheses. Perhaps an experiment will reveal hidden effects.
