Radioactive Decay $-$ Transmutation

The diagram below shows an important experiment that Rutherford did to detect three main types of radiation $($alpha$,$ beta, and gamma$).$ He observed what happened to a single beam of mixed radiation when it was aimed through an electric field.

On the blanks next to each beam, predict what type of radiation is represented.
