An X-ray beam is capable of being deflected
An X-ray beam is capable of being deflected
Options
- Aby both an electric field and a magnetic field
- Bby neither an electric field nor a magnetic field
- Cby a magnetic field
- Dby an electric field
Correct answer
B. by neither an electric field nor a magnetic field
Step-by-step solution
X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves consisting of photons.
Since X-rays do not carry any electric charge, they do not experience any force in the presence of an electric field or a magnetic field.
Therefore, an X-ray beam is deflected by neither an electric field nor a magnetic field.
