Which of the following characterizes a beta ray? Choose all that apply. is electromagnetic radiation is a product of natural radioactive decay is attracted to the positively charged plate in an electric field is attracted to the negatively charged plate in an electric field is composed of electrons

Respuesta :

Explanation:

When a radioactive substance decays then the fast moving electrons emitted by it is known as beta ray. Basically, a number of beta particles are ejected by a beta ray.

Symbol of a beta particle is [tex]^{0}_{-1}e[/tex]. A beta ray is a natural decay of a radioactive element. As we know that opposite charges get attracted towards each other. So, a beta ray gets attracted towards a positively charged plate.

Therefore, we can conclude that following are the characterizes a beta ray:

  • a product of natural radioactive decay.
  • is attracted to the positively charged plate in an electric field.
  • is composed of electrons.
