The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which rays contain (+ Ve) charged particle?", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Rays**: - There are three primary types of rays emitted during radioactive decay: alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays. 2. **Understand Alpha Particles**: - Alpha particles are composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, which is equivalent to a helium nucleus (He-4). - Since they contain 2 protons, they have a positive charge of +2 (doubly ionized helium). 3. **Understand Beta Particles**: - Beta particles are essentially electrons, which carry a negative charge (-1). - Therefore, beta rays do not contain positive charged particles. 4. **Understand Gamma Rays**: - Gamma rays are high-energy photons, which are neutral and carry no charge. - Thus, gamma rays also do not contain positive charged particles. 5. **Conclusion**: - Among the three types of rays, only alpha rays contain positively charged particles (alpha particles). ### Final Answer: The rays that contain (+ Ve) charged particles are **alpha rays**.
