\( \alpha, \beta \) 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

  1. A maximum for \( \alpha \) rays
  2. B maximum for \( \beta \) rays
  3. C maximum for \( \gamma \) rays
  4. D zero for all of them
Verified Solution

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…
