no,
x rays are not charged particles.
electric field can apply force only on charged particles like electrons and protons.

What are the responses of alpha beta and gamma radiation in an electric field?
If this is an electric feild that goes in towards the page: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X the alpha particle will move upwards as it is a helium nuclei (and therefore is overly positive) the beta particle is an emited electron and therfore will move downwards. Gamma Rays are a form of an electromagnetic wave that is released when a newly decayed atom goes from a excited state to a de-excited state. As it is a form of radiation, gamma rays do not have a charge and therefore move straight through the feild.
What two types of radiation would be deflected by an electric field?
Ionizing radiation is generally divided into electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation. Charged particles are affected, and this will include protons, beta particles and alpha particles. Neutrons, another particulate form of ionizing radiation, won't be affected. Electromagnetic ionizing radiation, cosmic rays and gamma rays, are not effected.
What evidence convinced Thomson that cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles?
In a series of experiments in the 1890's, J.J.Thompson showed that cathode rays, or electrons, are deflected by an electric field, they are bent by a magnetic field, and that their charge to mass ratio is about 1/2000th of that of the proton. Light does not have any of these properties.
What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What is the voltage at the location of a Coulomb charge that has an electric potential?
A positive test charge of 1.6 x 10-11 C is placed in an electric field The force acting on it is 3.2 x 10-4 N What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at the point where the charge is placed
Which rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields?
These are gamma rays and X-rays.
What is the radiation source for x-ray waves?
X-rays are produced by the electric field of an atom. This is usually discussed in terms of characteristic X-radiation and bremsstrahlung. Most X-rays in hospital X-ray kit are the latter (the exception is mammography) . Electrons are fired from an electron gun at a tungsten target. When the electrons pass close to a tungsten atom they interact with electric field. This deflects the incoming electrons, slowing them down, reducing their energy. The excess energy is given of as X-rays.

Are x rays deflected by magnetic field?
nup.
Where do you get electromagnetic energy?
•Electromagnetic energy is a combination of electric and magnetic fields vibrating in relation to another. •Includes -Power -Radio waves -Infrared light -Visible light -Ultraviolet light -X rays -Gamma rays -Cosmic rays •Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field (shown as blue arrows) couples with a magnetic field (shown as red arrows). •The magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave.
X-rays are not deflected by magnetic fieldWhat does this indicate about yhe nature of rays?
That they have neither a negative or positive charge
What is the word for field which studies EMR including visible light x-rays gamma rays and ultraviolet?
radiometry
Relationship between electric field intensity and electric potential?
Electric field intensity is related to electric potential by the equation E = -dV/dx, where E is the electric field intensity, V is the electric potential, and x is the distance in the direction of the field. Essentially, the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential, and the magnitude of the field is related to the rate at which the potential changes.
One of roentgen's early observations was that x-rays are not deflected by magnetic field what does this indicate about the nature of the rays?
That means the Roentgen rays are electrically neutral.
An example of something that is not matter?
Light, sound, X-rays, radio waves, Earth's magnetic field, sun's tanning rays
What contributions did Roentgen make to the field of nuclear chemistry?
Roentgen discovered X-Rays.
Who made the first X-ray?
X-Rays were discovered by Roentgen. See the attached link for a brief article. to prior answer- Marie Curies discovered many things in the field of radiation, but not X-Rays.
