Velocity of α-particles is:
- 10 times greater than that of light
- one-tenth than that of light
- equal to that of light
- 100 times less than that of light
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: B Explanation: -
α-particles have:
- very little penetration power
- very high penetration power
- zero penetration power
- high penetration power
- It is because of their high charge and relatively large size.
Show Answer
Answer: A Explanation: -
α-particles can be stopped by:
- 0.01 mm thick aluminium foil
- a sheet of paper
- a few centimeters of air
- all of these
- Due to its very low penetration power through matter.
Show Answer
Answer: D Explanation: -
α-particles can cause -------- of gas through wich they pass:
- very low ionization
- no ionization
- intense ionization
- poor ionization
- it is because of their high velocity and attraction for electrons.

- α emitters
- β emitters
- γ emitters
- all of these
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: A Explanation: -
β-particles are identical with:
- protons
- electrons
- neutrons
- none of these
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: B Explanation: -
Velocity of β-particles is:
- 10 times greater than alpha particles
- about same as that of light
- both a & b
- 10 times greater than that of light
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: C Explanation: -
Penetration power of β-particles is:
- 100 times greater than alpha particles
- 10 times greater than alpha particles
- equal to that of alpha particles
- 10 times greater than gamma rays
- Because β-particles have higher velocity and negligible mass
Show Answer
Answer: A Explanation: -
Mass of β-particle is:
- 1 a.m.u
- 1/1827 a.m.u
- 2 a.m.u
- 1836 a.m.u
- N/A
Show Answer
Answer: B Explanation: -
The ionization produced by β-particles in a gas is about:
- 10 times greater than alpha particles
- 1/10th of that of alpha particles
- 1/100th of that of alpha particles
- 10 times greater than gamma rays
- Although β-particles have higher velocity but their mass is very small, thus their K.E is much less than α-particles
