a. A radioactive isotope emits only α-particles.

i. Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus you would use to prove that no β-particles or γ-radiation are emitted from the isotope.

ii. Describe the test you would carry out.

iii. Explain how your results would show that only α-particles are emitted.

b. The diagram below shows a stream of α-particles about to enter the space between the poles of a very strong magnet.

Describe the path of the α-particles in the space between the magnetic poles.
