An alpha particle has twice the charge of a beta particle, yet when the two part

Question

An alpha particle has twice the charge of a beta particle, yet when the two particles are given the same speed, an alpha particle will deflect less than a beta particle when they pass between electrically charged plates. Why is this observed? Explain your answer. An alpha particle has twice the charge of a beta particle, yet when the two particles are given the same speed, an alpha particle will deflect less than a beta particle when they pass between electrically charged plates. Why is this observed? Explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

because alpha partcal has mass 4 times greater then beta partical

and deflctn is propotional to ratio q/m

so beta partical deflcts more
