(a)
Interpretation:
The comparison of a, β, and γ-rays with respect to the speed of radiation travels should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
A radioactive process in which the nucleus of an atom emits a particle (
A radioactive process in which the nucleus of an atom emits a beta particle (
A radioactive process in which gamma rays are radiated during a nuclear reaction is termed as gamma emission.
(b)
Interpretation:
The comparison of a, β, and γ-rays with respect to penetrating power should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
A radioactive process in which the nucleus of an atom emits a particle (

A radioactive process in which gamma rays are radiated during a nuclear reaction is termed as gamma emission.
(c)
Interpretation:
The comparison of a, β, and γ-rays with respect to protective equipment that must be worn while handling should be predicted.
