Which consequence results when Cobalt-60 undergoes beta decay?

💡 Explanation

Exposure to beta radiation causes an unstable cobalt nucleus to undergo beta decay via **neutron conversion to a proton**, therefore emitting an electron and antineutrino, yielding stable nickel-60 and gamma photons, rather than alpha decay or positron emission.
