Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the following radiations—alpha, beta, and gamma—travels with the greatest speed, we can analyze each type of radiation based on their properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Radiation**: - Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons). They are relatively heavy and carry a positive charge. - Beta radiation consists of beta particles, which can be either electrons (beta minus) or positrons (beta plus). They are much lighter than alpha particles and carry a negative or positive charge, respectively. - Gamma radiation consists of gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic waves. They have no mass and no charge. ...
