What type of radiation is known to possess electromagnetic properties?
transmutation
gamma rays
alpha rays
beta rays
B?
The type of radiation that is known to possess electromagnetic properties is gamma rays. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light, radio waves, and X-rays. They have the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the options one by one by understanding the nature of each type of radiation. Transmutation is a process in which the nucleus of an atom is changed, but it is not a type of radiation. Alpha particles and beta particles (or rays) are forms of particulate radiation, which consist of charged particles being emitted from the nucleus of an atom. These are not electromagnetic in nature. However, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, so the correct answer is indeed gamma rays.
