Hey,
Your answer,
>> A beta particle is sometimes called a beta ray. It's denoted by the lower-case Greek letter beta (β).
>> It's a high-energy, high-speed electron or positronemitted in the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus.
>> For example :- A potassium-40 nucleus, in the process of beta decay.
Hope it helps!

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay. There are two forms of beta decay, β⁻ decay and β⁺ decay, which produce electrons and positrons respectively.
