α\alphaα-particles, β\betaβ-particles, and γ\gammaγ-rays are standard types of radiation emitted by unstable nuclei during radioactive decay. Which of these emissions can be deflected when passing through a uniform magnetic field?
α\alphaα-particles and β\betaβ-particles only
β\betaβ-particles and γ\gammaγ-rays only
γ\gammaγ-rays and α\alphaα-particles only
α\alphaα-particles, β\betaβ-particles, and γ\gammaγ-rays
