Which of the following radiations is deflected by electric field ?
- A Neutrons
- B \(\gamma\)-rays
- C \(\alpha\)-particles
- D X-rays
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\alpha\)-particles
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\alpha\)-particles are deflected in electric and magnetic field both because it has a charge of \(+2 e\). \(\gamma\) - rays and \(X\)-rays are electromagnetic waves which do not deflected in electric and magnetic field. Neutrons are neutral (chargeless) particles, hence it cannot deflect in electric and magnetic field.
