Question

Which line shows the path of gamma radiation in a magnetic field?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A

Magnetic force on a charged particle is given by, $F=qvB\sin \theta$

We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic waves , having no charge. Therefore, they will not experience any force in a magnetic field, and will go straight in a magnetic field without any deflection i.e. path $A$.
