Question

Is it possible to deflect $γ$ radiations in a way similar to $α and β$ particles, using the electric or magnetic field? Give a reason.

Solution

No, gamma radiations cannot deflect in a way similar to alpha and beta particles using electric or magnetic field because they are uncharged or neutral. Thus they do not deflect under the action of the electric or magnetic field.
