Question

$X$-ray will not show the phenomenon of:

• A. interference
• B. deflection by electric field
• C. diffraction
• D. polarization

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$X$-rays do not carry any charge. $X$-rays are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields because they do not carry any charge. $X$-rays are electromagnetic waves, they show all properties of light rays hence, they undergo reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and polarisation.
