Question 35
Question
MCQ▾Which one of the child has minimum weight?
Choices
Choice (4) | |
---|---|
a. | Y |

---|---|
a. | convection |
b. | conduction |
c. | radiation |
d. | evaporation |
Answer

Question 37
Question
MCQ▾Which radiations are stopped by a plastic?
Choices
Choice (4) | |
---|---|
a. | X-rays |
b. | β- particles |
c. | α- particles |
d. | γ- rays |
Answer
b.Explanation
As we know that β- rays are fast moving electrons.
They typically have energies in the range of a few hundred KeV to several MeV.
Since electrons are might lighter than helium atom they are able to penetrate further, through several feet of air but it can be stopped by several millimeter of plastic.
