Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cobalt-60 is a commercially available radioisotope that produces ionizing radiation, commonly used in medical and industrial applications. Gamma radiation is a type of ionizing radiation emitted by radioactive isotopes like cobalt-60, but it is not a source itself. Cyclotrons and synchrotrons are types of particle accelerators, not radioisotope sources.
