A radioactive source emits three types of radiations.
Name the radiations which are deflected by the electric field.
In following Figure shows a mixed source R of alpha and beta particles in a thick lead walled container. The particles pass through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the plane of paper inwards as shown by ×.
