Electromagnetic waves can be deflected by

Question

Electromagnetic waves can be deflected by (A) only electric field (B) only magnetic field (C) Both (a) and (b) (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In electromagnetic waves, the rest mass of a particle is zero, then net force exerted on a particle is zero. So, there is no deflection shown by a particle.
