15.8 Types of Radioactive Decay
BeginnerMCQDrawing RepresentationsConceptual16.8k
A rectangular region containing a grid of uniform magnetic field symbols represented as crosses labeled B into the page. A horizontal arrow labeled Beam enters the left side of the region, pointing to the right. Inside the region, the beam splits into three distinct trajectory paths: Path 1 curves upward in a smooth circular arc toward the top edge; Path 2 continues horizontally in a straight line toward the right edge; Path 3 curves downward in a tight circular arc toward the bottom edge. Labels Path 1, Path 2, and Path 3 are placed adjacent to their respective trajectory lines. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Paths of emitted radiation passing through a uniform magnetic field.
A narrow beam containing
\(\alpha\) particles, \(\beta^-\) particles, and \(\gamma\) rays enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed perpendicularly into the page. The beam enters moving toward the right, and the three components split along three distinct paths labeled 1, 2, and 3.

Which of the following correctly identifies the path followed by each type of radiation?
