Some radioactive nucleus may emit.

A

Only one `alpha, beta` or `gamma` at a time.

B

All the three `alpha, beta` and `gamma` one after another.

C

All the three `alpha, beta` and `gamma` simultaneously

D

Only `alpha` and `beta` simultaneously

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(a) No radioactive substance emit both `alpha` and `beta` particles simultaneously. Some substance emit `alpha-`particles and some other emits `beta-`particles. `gamma-`rays are emitted along with both `alpha` and `beta`-particles.
