Which of the following is incorrect?

A

The gamma `(gamma)` rays are high-enegry radiations.

B

Like `X` rays, gamma rays are neutral in nature and do not consist of charged particles.

C

Two of the three types of rays emitted by radioactive elements can get deflected when passed between two oppositely charged metal plates.

D

As regards penetrating power, `gamma` rays are the least, followed by `alpha`particles and `beta` particles.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`alpha`particles have the least penetrating power, followed by `beta` particles `(100` times that of `alpha` particles) and `gamma` rays `(1000` times that of `alpha` particles).
