Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arrow labeled 3 indicates a positively charged particle being deflected in a curved path, which suggests that it is moving through a magnetic field. Only option A includes an alpha particle (helium nucleus) which is positively charged and would be deflected in a curved path in a magnetic field. Options B and C include beta and gamma radiation, which are not charged particles and would not be affected by a magnetic field. Option D is not a valid response.
