In the absence of an electric field, a radioactive beam strikes a fluorescent screen at a single point. When an electric field i

s applied, the radioactive beam is separated into three different components. One of the components is deflected toward the positive electrode because it is negatively charged, one of the components is deflected toward the negative electrode because it is positively charged, and one component is not deflected in any direction; instead, it moves along a straight path. Identify the charges possessed by the different components of the radioactive beam by observing their behavior under the influence of an electric field.

Answer:

Beta rays (symbol β) are negatively charged because they are electrons.

Alpha rays (symbol α) are positively charged because they are helium nuclei.

Gamma rays (symbol γ or. ) are neutral, since they are photons only. Comprises of the shortest electromagnetic wavelength and thus provides the highest photon energy.

Answer: Beta, alpha and gamma ray

Explanation: The component being deflected to the positive side is the beta radiation because it is negatively charged and thus is attracted by the positive terminal of the Electric Field.

The component being deflected to the negative side is the alpha radiation, it's is positively charged and thus being attracted by the negative part of the Electric Field.

The component that went straight down without deflection is the gamma radiation. It is neutral and possess no charge and thus is not deflected.

In an iron rod the particles vibrate. If one end of an iron rod is heated, the vibrating particles transfer energy to neighborin
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction. When a substance is heated, its particles gain internal energy and move more vigorously. The particles bump into nearby particles and make them vibrate more. This passes internal energy through the substance by conduction , from the hot end to the cold end.
