An X-ray beam can be deflected by:
- A. An electric field
- B. A magnetic field
- C. An electric as well as a magnetic field
- D. Neither an electric field nor a magnetic field ✓
Correct Answer: D. Neither an electric field nor a magnetic field
Explanation
X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves consisting of photons. Because they carry no electrical charge, they cannot be deflected by either an electric or a magnetic field.
