Correct answer: D. All
- A. Electron
- B. β-particle
- C. Proton
- D. All
Explanation
To summarize, a positron (β+) has a charge in magnitude equal to the charge on an electron (e-), a β-particle (which can be an electron or a positron), and a proton (p+).

About Photons and the Particle Model of Light
The particle model treats light as photons with energy E equals hf and momentum related to wavelength. Questions involve the photoelectric effect, work function, threshold frequency, stopping potential and photon energy, while distinguishing particle behaviour from the wave description of interference and diffraction.
