WHAT type of radiation is unaffected by magnetism?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, 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.

Answer 3

That 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.

Answer 4

Magnetism has no effect on electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength.

Answer 5

Gamma rays are unaffected by magnetism due to their lack of charge and mass. This allows them to travel straight through magnetic fields without being deflected.

Answer 6

Gamma rays
