Question 1 Report

Which of the following particies CANNOT be deflected by both electric and magnetic fields?
Answer Details
Gamma rays cannot be deflected by both electric and magnetic fields. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation and do not have a charge, unlike alpha and beta particles. This means they are not affected by electric or magnetic fields and continue to travel in a straight line. On the other hand, alpha and beta particles, which are charged particles, can be deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
