Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted by alpha particles imparts less amount of energy to the absorbing material.

Where as beta radiation by beta particles are more penetrating than the alpha particles and gamma rays are most penetrating radiations they can even penetrate through out a human body.

The order of penetration of these radiations from least to most is :

Alpha rays < Beta rays < gamma rays

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

What type of radioactivity occurs in nuclear reactor if a neutron and uranium are the typical reactants
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Fission. When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

B:GRANITE

Explanation:

<em>Granite is typical of a larger family of granitic rocks that are composed mostly of coarse-grained quartz and feldspars in varying proportions. These rocks are classified by the relative percentages of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase (the QAPF classification), with true granite representing granitic rocks rich in quartz and alkali feldspar. Most granitic rocks also contain mica or amphibole minerals, though a few (known as leucogranites) contain almost no dark minerals.</em>

These properties have made granite a widespread construction stone throughout human history.</em>
