While passing through the applied magnetic field, which of the following undergoes the maximum deflection?

  • A
    Stream of $\alpha$-particles
  • Correct answer
    B
    Stream of $\beta$-particles
  • C
    $\gamma$-rays
  • D
    Stream of neutrons

Solution

Among the given options the deflection of $\beta$-particles is maximum while passing through the applied magnetic field. This is because, $\beta$-particle is lighter than the $\alpha$-particle.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
