A certain radioactive source emits radiation that was found to be deflected by both magnetic and electric fields. The radiation is?

Answer Details

Radioactive radiation that is deflected by both magnetic and electric fields is called beta radiation. Beta radiation is a type of high-energy, high-speed electron that is emitted from the nucleus of an atom. Gamma rays are high-energy photons that are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields. X-rays are also high-energy photons that are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields. Ultra-violet radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has a higher frequency than visible light, but lower frequency than x-rays. So, the radiation that is deflected by both magnetic and electric fields is beta radiation
