General Science / Physics Class 10th MCQs — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. Highly ionizing than γ-radiation
  2. B. A form of electromagnetic radiation
  3. C. More penetrating than β-radiation
  4. D. A stream of fast-moving electrons

Correct answer

Highly ionizing than γ-radiation

Explanation

Explanation Alpha (α) radiation consists of heavy , positively charged particles (alpha particles) that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during certain types of radioactive decay .
