उत्तर
Similarities:
Both ?-radiations and X-rays affect photographic plate, both travel with the speed of light.
Dissimilarities:
?-radiations are obtained in emissions from the radioactive substances due to energy change in the nucleus of their atoms and X- rays are obtained when highly energetic cathode rays are stopped by a heavy metal target of high melting point.
?-radiations have high penetration power but X-rays do not have have very high penetration power.
