A beam consisting of \(\alpha\)-particles. \(\beta\)-particles and \(\gamma\)-rays pass through a magnetic field at right angles to the direction of the fie...

Answer Details

The correct observation would be "Deflected, not deflected, not deflected." \(\alpha\)-particles are positively charged particles and are therefore deflected when they pass through a magnetic field. The direction of deflection is determined by the right-hand rule and depends on the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the velocity of the particle. \(\beta\)-particles are also charged particles, but they are negatively charged, so they are not deflected by a magnetic field. \(\gamma\)-rays are not charged particles and therefore do not experience a force when they pass through a magnetic field. Thus, they are not deflected. In summary, the deflection of charged particles in a magnetic field depends on the charge and velocity of the particle, while uncharged particles are not deflected.
