Vedclass · Accepted Answer

$\alpha$-particles

Vedclass · Answer

(C) An electric field exerts a force on charged particles,causing them to deflect from their path. $\alpha$-particles carry a positive charge of $+2e$,which causes them to be deflected by both electric and magnetic fields. $\gamma$-rays and $X$-rays are electromagnetic waves that carry no charge,so they remain undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. Neutrons are neutral particles with zero charge,and therefore,they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.

Which of the following radiations is deflected by an electric field?
