To determine which of the radiations (alpha, beta, or gamma) is similar to a beam of electrons, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Radiation**: - Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, which are the nuclei of helium atoms (2 protons and 2 neutrons). - Beta radiation consists of beta particles, which are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons. - Gamma radiation consists of electromagnetic waves (photons) and has no mass or charge. ...
