Radioactivity comes from unstable atoms of certain elements. Radioactivity consists of alpha radiation (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation (1 electron), or gamma radiation (Electromagnetic photons).

Answer:
Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane.
Explanation:
A double bond is converted to an oxirane through oxidation by peracids e.g. mCPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid).
Epoxidation can occur at both face of double bond result in formation of two stereoisomers.
Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane
Both A and B contain plane of symmetry. Hence, both the products are achiral. So, they do not rotate the plane of polarization of plane polarized light.
