\( \alpha, \beta \) and \( \gamma \) rays emitted by a radioactive substance are allowed to pass through a region containing a magnetic field at right angles to their path. The energy gained will be
- A maximum for \( \alpha \) rays
- B maximum for \( \beta \) rays
- C maximum for \( \gamma \) rays
- D zero for all of them
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) zero for all of them
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A magnetic force on a charged particle is always perpendicular to its velocity. Work done by a magnetic force is \( W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d} = 0 \). No energy is gained by charged particles (\( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) rays). \( \gamma \) rays are uncharged, so they experience…

Plasmodium, a tiny protozoan is responsible for the disease malaria. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal. Innate immunity consist of four types of barriers. These are – (i) Physical barriers- skin on our body is the main barrier which prevents entry of the micro-organisms. (ii) Physiological barriers- Acid in the stomach, saliva in the mouth, tears from eyes-all prevent microbial growth. (iii) Cellular barriers- Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. (iv) Cytokine barriers- virus-infected cells secrete proteins called interferons which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection. Allergy is due to the release of chemicals like histamine and serotonin from the mast cells. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Drugs like barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and other similar drugs, that are normally used as medicines to help patients cope with mental illnesses like depression and insomnia, are often abused.
