प्रश्न
Explain why alpha and beta particles are deflected in an electric or a magnetic field, but gamma rays are not deflected in such a field.

उत्तर
α and β are positive and negative charged particles respectively, therefore these are deflected in electric or magnetic field whereas γ radiations are not charged particles so does not deflect.
