\nX-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, consisting of photons. Unlike charged particles (like electrons or protons), uncharged particles like photons are generally not deflected by static electric or magnetic fields when traveling through a vacuum or air. Statement A claims they are deflected by electric fields, which is not a general property of X-rays as electromagnetic waves.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
\n– Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by static electric or magnetic fields.
\n– X-rays have high penetration power and short wavelengths compared to visible light.
\n<\/section>\n
\nX-rays can be scattered by matter, and this scattering can be influenced by electromagnetic fields within the material, but the direct path of an X-ray beam is not bent by external static electric or magnetic fields in the way charged particles are.
