An X-ray can be deflected:
- A. by a magnetic field.
- B. by an electric field.
- C. by both electric and magnetic field.
- D. neither by electric field nor by magnetic field. ✓
Correct Answer: D. neither by electric field nor by magnetic field.
Explanation
X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves (composed of photons). Since they carry no electric charge, they are not deflected by either electric or magnetic fields.
