Question

The diagram given above show α particle, γ rays and cathode ray separately passing through an electric field created between two electrically charged plates (one positive, one negative). What will be the deflection of these particles/rays when they pass between the charged plates?

• A. Alpha particles will slightly deviate towards positive plate, Gamma will pass through undeviated and cathode rays will sharply bend towards negative plate
• B. Alpha particles will sharply deviate towards positive plate, Gamma will pass through undeviated and cathode rays will slightly bend towards negative plate
• C. Alpha particles will slightly deviate towards negative plate, Gamma will pass through undeviated and cathode rays will sharply bend towards positive plate
• D. Alpha particles will slightly deviate towards negative plate, Gamma will sharply bend towards negative plate and cathode rays will pass through undeviated

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Alpha particles will slightly deviate towards negative plate, Gamma will pass through undeviated and cathode rays will sharply bend towards positive plate
