Induced radioactivity, also known as artificial radioactivity, refers to the phenomenon where stable nuclei are transformed into radioactive isotopes as a result of exposure to external radiation, typically through neutron bombardment or other forms of particle or radiation interactions. This process occurs when a stable nucleus absorbs a neutron or another particle, leading to a nuclear reaction that alters its composition and stability, making it radioactive.
