Fig. 12.8 shows a mixed source R of alpha and beta particles in a thick lead walled container. The particles pass through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the plane of paper inwards as shown by x. (a) Show in the diagram how the particles get affected. (b) Name the law used in part (a).
[Hint : alpha particles will deflect to the left while beta particles to the right]
