Is not deflected by a magnetic field by the radioactive emission?

Gamma rays .


Do magnetic fields affect X Rays?

Fixed magnetic fields, such as the field around a piece of magnetic metal or around a planet such as the earth have no effect on what is called "electromagnetic" or "wave" radiation, which includes, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays (named in order of increasing energy and frequency.)


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.


Are cathode rays deflected toward a negatively charged plate in an electric field?

Yes. Cathode rays, otherwise known as electrons, are repelled by a negative charge, and attracted to a positive charge.


How did thomas discover the electron?

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron using an experiment involving cathode rays and a magnetic field. When subjected to the magnetic field, the cathode ray was deflected. If the magnetic field was flipped, the cathode ray was deflected in the opposite direction. This proved that a cathode ray was a stream of negatively charged particles that would later be deemed electrons.

Are gamma rays affected by electric and magnetic fields?

Most cosmic rays would be deflected by a magnetic field, with the degree of deflection depending upon their mass and the strength of the field. Remember that cosmic rays are largely protons or atomic nuclei and as such most of them do carry a charge and hence would feel the force or influence of electric or magnetic fields. Secondary cosmic rays are partly composed of electrically neutral particles (like neutrons) which would not feel the influence of magnetic fields and hence would not be deflected.


What did john Thomson use to deflect the cathode rays?

he dint did nething to deflect them thet went straight to the anode +ve of the tube becoz opposite attracts.


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 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.


What are the components of gamma rays?

Gamma rays consists of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge

Is electric field can deflect y-rays?

As gamma rays are neutral it cannot be deflected by electric field.


How do radioactive rays behave in an electric and magnetic field?

That will depend on their electric charge: plus and minus charged rays will behave in opposite ways while uncharged rays will not be affected at all by the fields.
