Solution
The correct option is
B
False
Amongst
α
,
β
,
γ
ways,
γ
rays,
γ
−
rays have maximum penctrating power
α
−
particles have small penetrating power due to relatively larger size. They are stopped by a piece of aluminium foil of
0.1
m
m
thickness.
β
−
rays are more penetrating than
α
−
particles. This is due to small size and high velocity. These are stopped by a
1
am thick sheet of aluminium.
Due to high velocity and non-material character,
γ
−
ways are
10
10
times more penetrating than
α
−
rays.
