Select the correct statements among the following :
A. Slow neutrons can cause fission in than fast neutrons.
B. -rays are Helium nuclei.
C. -rays are fast moving electrons or positrons.|
D. -rays are electromagnetic radiations of wavelengths larger than X-rays.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Options
- AA, B and C only
- BA, B and D only
- CA and B only
- DC and D only
Correct answer
A. A, B and C only
Step-by-step solution
(A) Slow neutron can cause fission in than fast neutrons because fast neutrons are too quick so they scatter of atoms instead of being captured by them
(B) -rays are Helium nuclei, is a true statement
(C) -rays are generated when neutron is converted into proton by releasing electron or proton is converted into neutron by releasing positron.
(D) -rays have higher energies as compared to X -rays. So they have smaller wavelength as compared to X-rays.
