If alpha particles and beta particles from the same source went through a magnetic field together, what would we see?
Group of answer choices
Alphas would bend one way and the betas would bend the opposite
Alphas and betas would both be affected by the magnetic field but the effects would be random
Alphas would just travel straight through because they have no electric charge. But the betas would have bent trajectories because they have electric charge
