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.

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.
Is it possible to deflect γ - radiations in a way similar to α and β -particles, using the electric or magnetic field? Give reasons.
Arrange the α, β, and γ raditions in ascending order of their ionising powers.
What is the composition of α, β and γ radiations?
Arrange the α, β, and γ radiation in ascending order of their biological damage. Give reason.
Compare the penetrating powers of α, β and γ-radiations.
Compare the ionising powers of α, β and γ radiations.
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.
Arrange the α, β and γ radiations in ascending order of their penetrating power.
