Charged particles will be deflected by an electric field. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.

∙ 14y agoAlpha particles are helium nuclei. These two protons give the alpha particle a positive charge and it will be affected by magnet. Likewise, beta particles are free electrons and they carry negative charge, like all electrons. The correct answer is gamma radiation. This is just a photon of extremely high energy; it will not be affected by magnet.

∙ 10y agoAll electromgnetic radiation is not influenced by a magnetic field.
The alpha and beta radiation that are products of radioactive decay
are charged particles, so they're deflected by a magnetic field.

What is the smallest packet of energy of a specific type of electro magnetic radiation?
a photon
Why is light in the electromagnetic spectrum Is light a type of electromagnetic radiation But how does that work Light is not magnetic or is it?
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by eye, and we call that bit "light". The thing about electromagnetic radiation is that a varying magnetic field causes a (varying) electric field (that's how power stations make electric current) and a varying electric field causes a (varying) magnetic field. So electromagnetic radiation is what you get when a varying electric field creates a varying magnetic field which in turn contributes the varying electric field. The whole thing then appears as bundled varying electric and magnetic field wave system which propagates at the velocity of light, That is why it is called electromagnetic. There are no magnetic poles or electric charges in it, and it can travel through a vacuum.
What seeds are affected by radiation?
any type of seed get affected but, it depends by the thickness of the seed coat. if it is to thick it will have no effect at all. if it is too thin the seed will burn up and die. if it is normal i will have some changes but the seed will not die.
What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.

Define the term electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation a kind of radiation that includes visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays. The electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously in this type of radiation.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
What type of heat is affected by color?
Radiation!!
What type of transfer is affected by color?
Radiation!
What is light classiified as when electrical and magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave?
Since light has these electrical and magnetic fields, it is a type of electromagnetic wave.
Which type of electro magnetic has a highest frequency?
It is gamma radiation.
What IS the difference between cat and pet scan?
The difference is in the type of radiation used to form the image. A Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan can use any type of radiation to create the image, the specific type is not specified in the name, but most often uses X-rays; but a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan specifically uses positrons as the radiation form. A third type, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the miniscule magnetic fields of naturally occurring compounds within the human body to create its images.
What type of fields are created by an arrangement of electric charges or a current?
Magnetic fields can be created by charges or the flow of current.
What is the smallest packet of energy of a specific type of electro magnetic radiation?
a photon
Which type of energy travels as alternating electric and magnetic fields?
Electromagnetic energy.
