b) False
Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct answer is b) False. Radiation emissions such as alpha, beta, and gamma do not necessarily transmutate an element. Transmutation is the process of one element being changed into another through nuclear reactions. While certain types of radiation can cause transmutation, not all radiation emissions result in the transmutation of an element.

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is a) True. All radiation emissions, including alpha, beta, and gamma rays, have the potential to cause transmutation in certain situations. Alpha and beta particles are ionizing radiation and carry enough energy to interact with atomic nuclei, potentially leading to transmutation. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can also cause transmutation through interactions with atomic nuclei. Therefore, all three types of radiation emissions can result in the transmutation of an element.
