Question 36
Medium

A collimated beam containing alpha (α\alphaα), beta-minus (β−\beta^-β−), and gamma (γ\gammaγ) radiations from a radioactive source enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed perpendicularly into the plane of the page, as shown in the diagram below.

Deflection of radioactive emissions in a magnetic field

Which row in the table correctly identifies the paths taken by the α\alphaα, β−\beta^-β−, and γ \gamma\,γ radiations?

α\alphaα: Path R; β−\quad \beta^-β−: Path P; γ\quad \gammaγ: Path Q

α\alphaα: Path P; β−\quad \beta^-β−: Path R; γ\quad \gammaγ: Path Q

α\alphaα: Path P; β−\quad \beta^-β−: Path Q; γ\quad \gammaγ: Path R

α\alphaα: Path R; β−\quad \beta^-β−: Path Q; γ\quad \gammaγ: Path P
