A glass rod rubbed with silk is used to charge a gold leaf electroscope and the leaves are observed to diverge. The electroscope thus charged is exposed to -rays for a short period. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The leaves will diverge further
Option B is correct because X-rays ionize the air around the electroscope, leading to neutralization of the charges on the leaves and thus further divergence.
