Question

an electric field will deflect radiation in different directions, depending on the of the radiation.

Explanation:

Electric fields interact with charged particles. Radiation can consist of charged particles (like alpha particles which are positively - charged, beta particles which are negatively - charged). The direction of deflection of radiation in an electric field depends on the charge of the particles that make up the radiation. Positively - charged particles will be deflected towards the negative plate of the electric field, and negatively - charged particles will be deflected towards the positive plate.
