Question #1
Beta rays consist of:
A. High-speed electrons
B. Neutrons
C. Electromagnetic waves
D. Helium nuclei

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Beta (β) rays are streams of high-speed electrons (β⁻) or positrons (β⁺) emitted during radioactive decay. Beta-minus decay: neutron → proton + electron + antineutrino. Alpha rays are helium nuclei (²He⁴); gamma rays are high-energy photons; neutrons are neutral particles. Memory tip: 'Beta = electrons; Alpha = He nucleus; Gamma = photons'. This classification question tests knowledge of radioactivity types, crucial for modern physics in competitive exams. Always distinguish penetration power: alpha < beta < gamma.

Question #2
Refrigerator COP = Q₂/W. If Q₂=300J, W=100J, COP is:
A. 200
B. 0.33
C. 400
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
COP = desired output/work input = 300/100 = 3. Typical COP > 1 for refrigerators. Memory aid: 'COP = cooling effect per work; higher = more efficient'. Thermodynamics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.
