    Beta rays emitted by a radioactive material are

    A)  The electrons orbiting around the nucleus

    B)  Charged particles emitted by nucleus  

    C)  Neutral particles

    D)  Electromagnetic radiations

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     A beta ray is a high-energy, high-speed electron (negatively charged) or positron (positively charged) emitted in the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus, such as a potassium-40 nucleus, in the process of beta decay. Two forms of beta decay, \[\beta -\], and \[\beta +\], respectively produce electrons and positrons. Beta radiation takes the form of either an electron or a positron being emitted from the nucleus of an atom.
