When α rays pass through a strong uniform magnetic field, then they
Correct answer: D. Get deflected in the direction perpendicular to the field
- A. Do not get deflected at all
- B. Get deflected in the direction of the field
- C. Get deflected in the direction opposite to the field
- D. Get deflected in the direction perpendicular to the field
Explanation
Correct. Charged particles like alpha rays experience deflection perpendicular to the magnetic field.In summary, the correct option is **d. Get deflected in the direction perpendicular to the field** based on the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field
