Solution :
Out of the given choices, X-rays and $$\gamma $$-rays are electromagnetic waves, so they have no charge. $$\beta $$-particles are negatively charged particles and are fast moving electrons. Alpha $$\left( \alpha \right)$$ particles have positive charge and is a nucleus of helium.
Releted MCQ Question on Modern Physics >> Atoms or Nuclear Fission and Fusion
In the nuclear fusion reaction
$$_1^2H + _1^3H \to _2^4He + n$$
given that the repulsive potential energy between the two
nuclei is $$ \sim 7.7 \times {10^{ - 14}}J,$$ the temperature at which the gases must be heated to initiate the reaction is nearly
[Boltzmann’s Constant $$k = 1.38 \times {10^{ - 23}}J/K$$ ]
The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron $$\left( {_1^2H} \right)$$ and helium nucleus $$\left( {_2^4He} \right)$$ is $$1.1\,MeV$$ and $$7\,MeV$$ respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is
