Electrical field is used to deflect

A

`alpha and beta` particles

B

`alpha and gamma `particles

C

`alpha, beta and gamma`-particles

D

`beta and gamma ` particles

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`alpha`- particles are positively charged whereas `beta`- particles are negatively charged particles. Hence, these can be deflected by electric field. However `gamma`-particles being neutral, so they cannot be deflected by electric field.
