Chapter 20, Problem 4E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct options that characterize an alpha ray are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

When a narrow beam is aimed into an electric field, it divides into three beams. These three beams indicate that radioactive emissions are made up of three different products. These three products are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma particles. Alpha, beta, and gamma are the radioactive particles.
