Question

Which of the following radiation gets deflected most in electric or magnetic field?

पर्याय

• α-particles

• β-particles

• γ-radiation

• X-rays

Answer 1

β-particles

Explanation:

β-particles are electrons. They are very light and carry one unit of charge, so they are deflected much more than α-particles. α-particles are heavy, so they are deflected less. γ-radiation and X-rays have no charge, so they are not deflected.
