Question

B. Short Answer Questions.
1. List the properties of cathode
rays.​

Answer 1

Answer:

cathode rays moves from negative terminal to positive terminal .

cathode contains electrons therefore they have negative charge.

Magnets can deflect cathode rays easily.

Answer 2

Some properties of cathode rays:

• They travel linearly

• They have a negative electric charge

• They have particle property

• Magnets can deflect them

• Charge/mass ratio of the rays is constant

• They travel from the cathode to the anode

• Their properties are independent from the electrodes and gas present in the cathode ray tube.

• Cathode rays can ionize gas

• The travel more slowly than light

• They can heat objects that they hit

• They can penetrate through thin Aluminium plates

• They can make phosphors glow
