Question 12

Alpha ( $α\alpha$ ), beta ( $β\beta$ ) and gamma ( $γ\gamma$ ) are three different types of nuclear radiation.

Which statement describes a feature common to all three of these radiations?

They are all charged particles emitted in a predictable sequence.

They all originate from the nucleus and are emitted in a random process.

They all originate from electron shells and are emitted in a random process.

They all have the same penetrating power and are emitted in a predictable sequence.
