How could you identify alpha, beta, and gamma rays coming from an ore sample?


Pass the radiation from the ore sample through a magnetic field. The alpha and beta
particles will be deflected in different directions. The magnetic field has no effect on
the gamma rays or more practically use shielding material to make the tests like you
did in Procedure 3.
