MCQ
Which of the following is a correct statement
  • Beta rays are same as cathode rays
  • B
    Gamma rays are high energy neutrons
  • C
    Alpha particles are singly ionized helium atoms
  • D
    Protons and neutrons have exactly the same mass

Answer

Correct option: A.
Beta rays are same as cathode rays
a
(a) Both the $\beta$- rays and the cathode rays are made up of electrons. $\gamma$- rays are $EM$ waves,

$\alpha$- particles are doubly ionized helium atoms and protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass.
