पर्याय
α , β and γ simultaneously
in the order α , β and γ one by one
X-ray and Y-ray
α or β

उत्तर
A radioactive substance emits radiations α or β.
Explanation:
In a single radioactive decay, α and β articles are never emitted simultaneously. There will be either an α- emission or a β - emission, which may be accompanied by γ emission.

A radioactive source emits three types of radiations.
Name the three radiations.
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.
- Name the radiations labelled A, B and C.
- Explain clearly how you used the diagram to arrive at the answer in part (a).
Explain why alpha and beta particles are deflected in an electric or a magnetic field, but gamma rays are not deflected in such a field.
What is the composition of α, β and γ radiations?
Compare the ionising powers of α, β and γ radiations.
What are α-and β-radiations?
A beam of α, β and γ rays is travelling through a certain region in space.
- Arrange them in ascending order of ionising power.
