Question

Magnetic field does not cause deflection in:

$\alpha-\text{rays}$
$\beta^+-\text{rays}$
$\beta^--\text{rays}$
$\gamma-\text{rays}$

✓

Answer

$\gamma-\text{rays}$

Explanation:

Magnetic force acts on a charged particle, due to which it deflects from its path. The magnitude of this force is measured as $\Big|\overrightarrow{\text{F}}\Big|=\Big|\text{q}\Big(\overrightarrow{\text{v}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}\Big)\Big|.$

Here, q is the charge on the particle that is moving with speed v in a uniform magnetic field B.

Since alpha, beta-plus and beta-minus are charged particles, they suffer deflection due to the field applied. On the other hand, gamma rays are photons and due to zero charge, they do not suffer any deflection.

A spherical soap bubble inside an air chamber at pressure $P_0=10^5 Pa$ has a certain radius so that the excess pressure inside the bubble is $\Delta P=144 Pa$. Now, the chamber pressure is reduced to $8 P_0 / 27$ so that the bubble radius and its excess pressure change. In this process, all the temperatures remain unchanged. Assume air to be an ideal gas and the excess pressure $\Delta P$ in both the cases to be much smaller than the chamber pressure. The new excess pressure $\Delta P$ in $Pa$ is
