प्रश्न
The figure shows a radioactive source S placed in a thick-walled lead container. The radiations given off pass through a magnetic field acting in direction perpendicular to the plane of paper inwards as shown by X. Copy the diagram and show the path of radiations. Explain why the source is kept in a thick-walled lead container.

उत्तर

The given figure shows the path of radiation in the magnetic field. The source is kept in a thick-walled lead container so that it.
Radiations may not come out in the undesired direction otherwise they will harm the person working on.

A radioactive source emits three types of radiations.
Name the three radiations.
In following Figure shows a mixed source R of alpha and beta particles in a thick lead walled container. The particles pass through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the plane of paper inwards as shown by ×.
- Show in the diagram how the particles get affected.
- Name the law used in part (a).

[Hint: Alpha particles will deflect to the left while beta particles to the right]
Is it possible to deflect γ - radiations in a way similar to α and β -particles, using the electric or magnetic field? Give reasons.
State following four properties each of α, β and γ radiations:
- Nature,
- Charge,
- Mass and
- Effect of electric field.
Arrange the α, β, and γ raditions in ascending order of their ionising powers.
State the speed of each of α, β and γ radiations.
Compare the ionising powers of α, β and γ radiations.
