Is electric field can deflect y-rays?
As gamma rays are neutral it cannot be deflected by electric field.
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.
Why do charged particles from the sun (the solar wind) get trapped in the van Allen radiation belts?
The Van Allen belts are caused by Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles are deflected in the presence of a magnetic field.
What experiments did Thompson do?
J. J. Thomson observed that cathod rays are deflected by an electric field - and from this discovered the electron.
Which of the two charged particles of the same mass but different velocity will be deflected the most in magnetic field and why?
If they both have the same charge the one with the higher speed will be deflected more (google lorentz force).
Why photon cannot be deflected by electric and magnetic field?
a photon cannot be deflected by an electric or magnetic field because it has no charge and no magnetic poles like elementary particles such as the electron
How did JJ Thomson know that the particles in the cathode-ray tube were negatively charged?
They are found to be deflected by electric and magnetic field in the specific direction in which a negatively charged particle would get deflected.
Why beta and alpha particles deflected when they pass the magnetic field?
Alpha and beta particles are deflected by a magnetic field because they have charge and, as such, are affected by the electromagnetic interaction or force.
Is electric field can deflect y-rays?
As gamma rays are neutral it cannot be deflected by electric field.
Why are gamma rays not deflected when passed between electrically charged plates?
Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment. Hence they cannot be affected by either an electric or a magnetic field.
How are sub atomic particles affected in an electrical field?
Charged elementary particles are deflected or accelerated.Neutral particles are not affected.
What did Thomson conclude about the particles in cathode rays?
they are deflected toward positive terminal in an electric field
Are electromagnetic waves deflected by magnetic and electric fields?
According to photon theory ,electromagnetic radiation consists of photon which are changeless particles. therefore they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.
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
Why do atoms need to be ionised in a mass spectrometer?
it is necessary to ionize the compouned or element used in the expirement because ONLY electrically charged particles (IONS) are affected by the magnetic field . (i.e : only ions are deflected by the magnetic field )Hope that this was helpful !!
A cathode ray produced in a gas-filled tube is deflected by a magnetic field A wire carrying an electric current can be pulled by a magnetic field A cathode ray is deflected away from a negatively?
They are negatively charged
