KlausZahn Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I read that one can distract alpha particles and beta particles, but no gamma rays. I also know that gamma rays are electromagnetic waves (not alpha and beta rays). I do not yet understand why gamma rays can be distracted. Is it because you cannot divert electromagnetic radiation, or is there a different reason?Thanks for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Hi I think there's a translation problem here What do you mean by "distract"? Can you show a web page where there is a picture of what you mean? If we have a picture the language does not matter.

studiot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I expect Klaus means deflected. Did you not read the link about Rutherford's experiment I gave you in your first thread? (Lack of) deflection by both magnetic and electric fields are discussed for gamma rays. http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/history/rutherford.html Google will find much more detail about the experiments.
