Select the correct statements among the following : A. Slow neutrons can cause fission in 92235U{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U} than fast neutrons. B. α\alpha-rays are Helium nuclei. C. β\beta-rays are fast moving electrons or positrons.| D. γ\gamma-rays are electromagnetic radiations of wavelengths larger than X-rays. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Options

  1. AA, B and C only
  2. BA, B and D only
  3. CA and B only
  4. DC and D only

Correct answer

A. A, B and C only

Step-by-step solution

(A) Slow neutron can cause fission in 92235U{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U} than fast neutrons because fast neutrons are too quick so they scatter of atoms instead of being captured by them (B) α\alpha-rays are Helium nuclei, is a true statement (C) β\beta-rays are generated when neutron is converted into proton by releasing electron or proton is converted into neutron by releasing positron. (D) γ\gamma-rays have higher energies as compared to X -rays. So they have smaller wavelength as compared to X-rays.
