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.

∙ 13y agoThe term radiation includes a variety of emissions, many of which are described as electro-magnetic, and some of which are not. A radioactive material such as uranium can emit particles such as neutrons, which is a form of radiation that is not electro-magnetic. Electricity and magnetism are closely connected, and electro-magnetic radiation, which includes visible light, is composed of both an electrical and a magnetic field.

In order to be deflected by electric and magnetic fields, the "radiation"
must be comprised of particles that have electric charge.
I can think of two of them:
- "Alpha" radiation, a stream of positive-charged helium nuclei
- "Beta" radiation, a stream of negatively-charged electrons
None of the electromagnetic radiation categories qualifies. (Radio,
microwave, heat, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma ray, etc.)

How do you describe Elcotoromagnetic waves and name two types of electromagnetic?
Two types: Radio Waves and Microwaves Description: A radiation wave caused by electric charge acceleration within the electro-magnetic field.
What types of objects emit electromagnetic radiation?
Electric and Magnetic Charges.
How does energy transform into other types of energy?
MR. CENT Mechanical, Radiation, Chemical, Electric, Nuclear, Thermal
Which forms of radiation are never able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere?
The major types of radiation are: 1. alpha particles, which are free electrons. 2. beta particles, which are the nuclei of helium atoms 3. gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation like sunlight or X-rays. Alpha and Beta particles are deflected and absorbed by the atmosphere.
Can electric fields be seen by human eyes?
The question is vague, and somewhat incomplete. There are a variety of different electric fields. All electric fields are defined as:A charged field that surrounds electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields."Electric field" is a generic term used to encompass all such fields. So, the only possible answer is yes, some.Humans are able to perceive electromagnetic radiation between 390 and 700 nm (nanometers).Additionally, humans are able to visually perceive spark, corona, and brush types of static discharges, a different type of electric field.
What type of radiation is not affected by magnetic fields?
Charged particles will be deflected by an electric field. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.
How does magnetism affect us?
Magnetism is needed for all types of electricity generation other than fuel cells. It is also essential for all speakers, headphones, microphones and electric motors. Earth's magnetic field is why cosmic radiation (very bad) cannot easily reach us; it mostly gets deflected.

What is the type of spectrum of all types of radiation called?
There are different types of radiation; you may be referring to the electromagnetic radiation.
What are the two main types of flux?
Types of flux - Electric and Magnetic Flux. Electric field flux through a closed surface is equal to the change enclosed in the surface, or the rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the induced voltage around the surface.
What types of radiation has no mass and no charge?
Gamma radiation
What is the connection between Leukemia and electricity?
As electricity passes through wires it creates and electromagnetic field. When people are near high voltage wires they are subject to this electromagnetic radiation. Though there may be no direct proof that this causes leukemia, there is evidence that other types of radiation does. This also applies to electric blankets, living near radio transmission towers, and cell phones held next to the head.
