Use the Geiger Muller tube to check the count-rate. Now place a thin sheet of paper in front of the tube, if alpha is present, it will alter the rate. Note this down. Now place an aluminium sheet in front of the tube, if it stops the radiation by the same amount, It means beta is not present.please help me with question number 7(b) i went through the marking scheme but couldn't understand it, please explain

For b, Just put two magnets such that the field between them is perpendicular to the direction of radiation. Now if beta is present it should move out of the plane. Just use a detector to check if any radiation is detected.
