Question

Transcribed Image Text:Becquerel's discovery of radiation from
uranium salts was important in that:
It confirmed that both
phosphorescene and luminescence
can result in the emission of energy
It opened a market for uranium
His grant provided support for Pierre
and Marie Curie. ,
D. Energy was emitted from this
material continuously, without an
external input of energy
