Question

Nuclear radiations are consisting of alpha, beta and γ-radiation is subjected to strong magnetic field:

Options

• alpha radiation are slightly deflected towards north pole

• beta radiation are deflected towards south pole

• gamma radiations are not deflected by magnetic field.

• all of these.

Answer 1

All of these

Explanation:

Alpha particles are heavy and positively charged, so they are only slightly deflected towards the north pole. Beta particles are light and negatively charged, so they are deflected more strongly towards the south pole. Gamma rays have no charge, so they are not deflected by a magnetic field.
