The radiationns from a naturally occuring radioactive substance as seen after deflection by a magnetic field in one direction are
Only `alpha`-rays b. Only `beta`-rays
c. Both `alpha`-and `beta-`rays d. Either `alpha`-or `beta`-rays

A

a.Only `alpha`-rays

B

b. Only `beta`-rays

C

c. Both `alpha`-and `beta-`rays

D

d. Either `alpha`-or `beta`-rays

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d. Either `alpha`-or `beta`-rays

Both `alpha`particles deflect in opposite direction in the presence of magnetic field. Here only one deflection is observed that will be for either `alpha`- or `beta-`rays.
