When X- rays pass through a strong uniform magnetic field, then they

  1. Do not get deflected at all ✓
  2. Get deflected in the direction of the field
  3. Get deflected in the direction opposite to the field
  4. Get deflected in the direction perpendicular to the field
Explanation

A magnetic field pushes only on moving charges. X-rays are electromagnetic waves and carry no charge.

So X-rays do not get deflected at all, unlike electrons or alpha particles.
