Question
An X-ray beam can be deflected
Options
by an electric field
by a magnetic field
by an electric field as well as a magnetic field
neither by an electric field nor a magnetic field
Solution
neither by an electric field nor a magnetic field
Since X-rays do not have any charged particles, they are not deflected by an electric field or a magnetic field.
