The radiation suffering the maximum deflection in a magnetic field is ______.

Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

The radiation suffering the maximum deflection in a magnetic field is β - particles. Explanation: 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.
