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.)


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

Gamma rays .


Which scientist discovered that cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles?

J.J. Thomson discovered that cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles. He conducted experiments using cathode ray tubes and found that the rays were deflected by electric and magnetic fields in a manner consistent with the presence of negatively charged particles.


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 are deflected towards a positively charged plate in an electric field. The negatively charged particles in the cathode rays are attracted to the positive plate, causing the deflection.

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.


Why are gamma rays not deflected when passed between electrically charged plates?

Gamma rays are neutral particles and do not carry an electric charge. Therefore, they are not affected by electric fields and are not deflected when passing between charged plates. Only charged particles are influenced by electric fields.


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.


Is electric field can deflect y-rays?

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


Why are gamma rays not affected by a magnet as they pass over it?

Gamma rays are not charged particles, so they are not affected by magnetic fields in the same way that charged particles like electrons are. This is because electromagnetic fields mainly interact with charged particles due to their electric charge. Gamma rays are photons, which are electrically neutral, allowing them to pass through magnetic fields without being deflected.


Which ray is not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic field?

Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic fields because they are neutral in charge and do not have a deflected path in the presence of these 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

What kinds of waves are produced by disturbances in electric and magnetic fields?

Disturbances in electric and magnetic fields produce electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields and include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They propagate through space at the speed of light.


Are alpha rays affected by electric and magnetic fields?

yes they are becasuse they are charced particles


Why are electrons in a cathode ray tube deflected by magnetic and electric fields?

By nature electrons are charged particles (with a -1 charge). Also there's an established relationship between electricity, which involves the flow of electrons, and magnetism, known as electromagnetism. Ampere's right-hand rule suggests the magnetic field moves in a corkscrew direction perpendicularly in reference to the direction of the flow of electrons (electrical current).
