The radio active isotope may emit

A

`alpha, beta and gamma-` rays simultaneously

B

both `alpha and beta` rays simultaneously

C

`alpha, gamma or beta, gamma`

D

protons, `alpha`-rays and `gamma`- rays

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Each radioactive element disintegrates either by emitting an `alpha`-particle or a `beta` - particle along with a `gamma`-photon. But a radioactive nucleus cannot emit `alpha` and `beta`-particles, simultaneously.
