Thank you so much sir! You are a blessing in disguise

10:37 sir I read that light is made up of magnetic field and electric field I understand that became gam has no charge so it won't deflect in electric field but why does it not deflect in a magnetic field due to the interaction of magnetic field of gamma and the magnets

[@AndyMasley]

Light is an oscillation of an electric and magnetic field and isn't affected by the pre-existing fields. Photons don't have charge or magnetic pole. One way you can think about it: If you have an ocean with a lot of waves, an additional wave can still move through that ocean to the other side without being affected by how many waves are already there. This is similar to the oscillation of the electric/magnetic field (light) moving through a space regardless of what field is already there.

​@@AndyMasley ❤😭 thank you very much 🙏

Very nice explanation, thank you so much sir, keep doing more videos please

During Beta decay, if the substance (not an ione) is losing an electron and also gaining a proton, shouldnt the charge of the substance be +2?

[@rainb1750]

@Potassiun Lanthanium am not sure but but for beta- minus decay when nuclei formed will have a positive charge, protons have +1 charge remember, the released electron will became the beta particle
