X-rays are neutral i.e.,they have no charge.Hence they do not get deflected in E-field and magnetic field.
Hope i helped u:)

Alpha rays consist of positively charged particles traveling at a high speed. Beta rays consist of negatively charged particles traveling at a high speed.

Electric field and magnetic field affect a moving charged particle, by exerting a force on them. That force is due to the presence of charge on the particle.

Gamma rays and X rays are electromagnetic radiation waves that are considered to be consisting of photons - that contain just energy - no charge.

So they are not affected or deflected.


karthik4297: but we know that X-ray generates by cathod ray,which is negatively charged ,so help me how does the X-ray neutral
kvnmurty: x rays are generated when cathode rays bombard the anode. electrons get inside anode. The loss of energy as electromagnetic radiation is x rays. it is only photons & energy.
kvnmurty: it is the same with the gamma rays too.
kvnmurty: thanks. select as best answer. rate the answer.
karthik4297: but i read that X-ray produces ,when cathod ray strik on hevy metal
kvnmurty: u r right. it s right. heavy metal like tungston
karthik4297: so, can electron get into tunguston?
kvnmurty: well, when u visit a diagnostics lab for an x ray - u have probably have tungston there in the machine
