उत्तर
Ionising power of α particles is the most and of γ-radiations the least i.e. Ionising power.
α > β > (a) γ < β < γ
α-10000 times γ and 100 times β

A radioactive source emits three types of radiations.
Name the radiations which are deflected by the electric field.
The diagram in figure shows a radioactive source S placed in a thick lead walled container. The radiations given out are allowed to pass through a magnetic field. The magnetic field (shown as ×) acts perpendicular to the plane of paper inwards. Arrows shows the paths of the radiation A, B and C.
