Explanation:
Option 1 states that X-rays are deflected by electric fields. However, this is incorrect as X-rays, being electromagnetic waves, are not deflected by electric fields. They are composed of photons which are not charged particles hence they do not react to electric or magnetic fields.
Option 2 is correct, X-rays are not deflected by magnetic fields for the same reason mentioned above.
Option 3 is also true. X-rays have higher penetrating power in matter due to their high energy and small wavelength.
Option 4 is right as well. The wavelength of X-rays is much smaller than that of visible light, which is why X-rays have more energy and penetration capacity than visible light.
So, the provided answer that X-rays are deflected by electric fields (option 1) is a property that X-rays do not have, making it the correct choice.
