beta radiation is effected by a magnetic Field. A beta particle will bend toward the south of the magnet (+). beta radiation bends because it is made up of a single electron with a negative charge also known as e-. this negative charge means that the beta radiation will bend toward the positive side of the magnetic field.

∙ 14y agoNo, this is not true.
Alpha and beta particles are charged, and so they may be influenced by magnetic fields.
Gamma particles and neutrons, on the other hand, are not charged, and are not influenced by magnetic fields.
There are other kinds of nuclear radiation, but these are good examples and are among the most important.

∙ 7y agoThat depends on their charge:
- alpha rays (positive charge) deflect in one direction
- beta rays (negative charge) deflect in the opposite direction
- gamma rays (zero charge) do not deflect
- neutrons (zero charge) do not deflect
- protons (positive charge) deflect in one direction
- positrons (positive charge) deflect in one direction
- fission fragments (initially positive charge, then zero charge) initially deflect in one direction, then do not deflect
- etc.

Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to the cells in the body?
The strongest type of radiation of course.
What is the weakest type of radiation?
Gamma radiation is the strongest, followed by beta, followed by alpha. So, in answer to your question; alpha is the weakest type of radiation :)
What type of radiation is felt as heat?
solar radiation from the sun
Is magnetism unaffected by paper glass or plastic?
true it is unaffected
Can high velocity neutrons path be affected by radiation or magnetism?
Neutron's path is not affected by radiation or magnetism.
Magnetism is what type of property?
magnetism is a type of metal found in the ground by valcanos also a.k.a pyro
Can magnetism field work?
magnetism works by the type of metal used to pull other type metal to it.
Will radiation affect microwaveable popcorn?
I think that is the point of microwaveable popcorn, if it was unaffected by the microwave radiation and didn't pop, it wouldn't be a very useful product.
What are some scientific names?
Gravitation, Magnetism, Evaporation, Diffusion, Solar radiation etc.
What is between the helium particles in a helium-filled balloon?
I'd say radiation magnetism doesn't quite seem to fit nor electric consciousness is a possible maybe being thought therefore some electric conductivity of a kind yet that seems to suggest magnetism back to what is magnetism therefore suggestion is deemed persay-radiation. unsure to this minute about radiation. checking web for informative research.
Why is Fes unaffected by a magnet?
FeS is a compound in which iron has lost its properties so it is unaffected by a magnet.
What are some scientific phenomenon names?
Aurora borealis - a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in polar regions. Black hole - a region in spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Superconductivity - the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance at very low temperatures. Photosynthesis - the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.
What type of magnet has iron in it?
magnetism
Why is radioactivity of an element unaffected by the usual factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions such as ordinary changes of temperature and condcentration?
because it is radiation and radiation can not be affected by temperature and/or concentration.
What type of magnetism is present in a bar magnet?
The known magnetism in a bar magnet is electromagnetism.
