β rays, also known as beta rays, are a type of radiation consisting of high-energy electrons. They are deflected away from the negatively charged plate, indicating that they have a negative charge themselves. α rays, on the other hand, consist of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei and are deflected towards the negatively charged plate. γ rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation and do not have a charge, so they are not deflected by an electric field. δ and ε rays are not types of radiation commonly discussed in physics.
