9.True regarding interaction------

a.the amount of energy required to create an ion pair is about 34 keV
b.x ray and gamma difficult to stop being uncharged and zero rest mass
c.the beta particle has mass and is charged ,so stopped easily (by perspex)
d.protons and alpha particles are more massive than negative beta particle  and are charged( stopped by paper)
e.neutrons are more penetrating than proton ,being uncharged
