Question

When nuclear emissions are passed through a positive plate and a negative plate, _________ is deflected toward the negative plate.

A. Alpha particles
B. Beta particles
C. Neutrons
D. Gamma rays

Answer 1

Beta particles are deflected toward the negative plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

When nuclear emissions are passed through a positive plate and a negative plate, beta particles are deflected toward the negative plate. Beta particles are negatively charged and relatively light, so they are attracted to the positive plate and deflected by a relatively large amount.
