Question

Is it possible to deflect $\gamma$ - radiations in a way similar to $\alpha and\beta$ - particles, using the electric or magnetic field ?

• A. yes
• B. no
• C. cant say
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

no

For deflection a particle should carry a charge.

Alpha and beta particles are charged, but gamma rays are uncharged, hence gamma rays cannot be deflected.

Alpha rays is positively charged and beta ray is negatively charged.
