While passing through the applied magnetic field, which of the following undergoes the maximum deflection?

  1. A Stream of \(\alpha\)-particles
  2. B Stream of \(\beta\)-particles
  3. C \(\gamma\)-rays
  4. D Stream of neutrons
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Stream of \(\beta\)-particles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the given options the deflection of \(\beta\)-particles is maximum while passing through the applied magnetic field. This is because, \(\beta\)-particle is lighter than the \(\alpha\)-particle.
