Which type of nuclear radiation is a helium nucleus and is deflected toward the negative electrode as it passes between electrically charged plates?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A helium nucleus is an alpha particle, and it has a positive charge. As it passes between electrically charged plates, it is deflected toward the negative electrode, indicating that it is positively charged. Therefore, the correct answer is A) alpha radiation. Beta radiation would be deflected towards the positive electrode, and gamma radiation would not be deflected at all due to its lack of charge.
