  • When radioactive radiations are allowed to pass through two oppositely charged plates they get separated. This method was introduced by Rutherford in 1902.
  • Rutherford and Willard studied the radiation emitted by radioactive substances.
  • For this purpose, the rays were allowed to pass through an electrical field and a photographic plate was held in their path.
  • It was found that the radiation was divided into three types.
  • One type of radiation deviated slightly towards the negatively charged plate, while the second type of radiation deviated substantially towards the positively charged plate.
  • However, the third type of radiation did not deviate at all in the electrical field.
  • The rays which deviated slightly toward negatively charged plate are called alpha rays.
  • Those which deviate substantially towards the positively charged plate are called beta rays and those which did not deviate at all are called gamma rays.
