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?
