Determine which type of radiation was being emitted

Reference no: EM13516075

Some asteroid fragments are large enough to not completely burn up in the atmosphere and they end up on the surface of the Earth. It is possible for such a fragment to be radioactive. What is the chief cause of radioactivity? If you had a radiation detector that could measure the amount of radiation but not the type of radiation, how could you determine which type of radiation was being emitted?
