Assertion A: α and β particles, emitted during a radioactive decay of a nucleus are simply nucleus of Helium and electron and are called as ionizing radiations.
Reason R: α and β particles produced in the radioactive decay are ejected with an incredible amount of energy of motion. When this energy is absorbed by matter encountered by the particle, it often ionises atoms and molecules.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
1
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
2
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
3
