You are working in a lab on your magnetic levitation experiment. You are standing directly in front of two magnets. Another scientist near you has a malfunction with their equipment and gamma radiation is emitted directly at you, passing through the magnets first. You are wearing a lab coat and goggles. Are you safe?

A. Yes, gamma radiation is not deflected by magnets but it is easily blocked by the lab coat.
B. Yes, gamma radiation is strongly deflected by magnets so it would have missed you.
C. No, gamma radiation is only slightly deflected by magnets so it would still hit you if you were close to the magnets.

Magnetic levitation which is also called magnetic suspension is defined as the phenomenon in which two magnetic objects are repelled from each other in a vertical direction.

Gamma radiation is defined as a type of electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wave length.

The gamma rays do not possess any charge and therefore are not affected by electric or magnetic fields.

Therefore, when gamma radiation is mistakenly emitted directly at you, passing through the magnets first, it will still hit you because the ray are only slightly deflected by magnets.
