**Question**: What describes the emissions of an isotope that gives off both beta and gamma radiation? **Options**: - A mixture of positive and negatively charged particles - *Negatively charged particles and high energy photons* (Selected) - Neutral particles and high energy photons of light - Positively charged particles and high energy photons - No particles emitted, only high energy photons of light **Explanation**: This question evaluates the understanding of radiation types emitted by isotopes. Beta radiation consists of negatively charged particles, while gamma radiation is composed of high energy photons. The correct choice reflects this combination.
