MCQ
The radiation suffering the maximum deflection in a magnetic field is:

  • α - particles

  • β - particles

  • X - rays

  • γ - radiations

  • A
    α - particles
  • β - particles
  • C
    X - rays
  • D
    γ - radiations

Answer

Correct option: B.
β - particles
β - particles

β-particles are negatively charged, so they get deflected by the electric and magnetic fields. The deflection of β-particle is more than that of a-particle since a β-particle is lighter than the α-particle. Whereas, gamma radiations are not deflected by the electric and magnetic fields since they are not charged particles.
