Name the Different Radiations Which Are Emitted by the Radioactive Substances.
Are all the radiations mentioned by you, emitted in a single radioactive decay?

उत्तर
Following three radiations are emitted by the radioactive substances:
(i) Alpha (α), (ii) Beta (β), and (iii) Gamma (γ).
All the above radiations are not emitted in a single radioactive decay. There will be either an α emission or a β emission, which may be accompained by γ-emission.
