HERE IS YOURS ANSWER;

◆ The Cathode Ray Tube or CRT consists of several elements starting with a tube that's vacuum sealed to keep air out of it.

◆ On one side of the inside of the tube there's a cathode and an anode. The cathode is a negatively-charged conductor, and the anode is a positively-charged conductor.


◆Electrons, which have a negative charge, flow off the cathode and are attracted towards the anode.

◆ A small hole in the anode allows some electrons to pass through it, creating a beam of electrons.

◆ On the opposite side of the tube is a coating that glows when struck by the electrons.

◆ Hence, Sir J.J Thompson reached the conclusion that what flowed off the cathode toward the anode were called 'cathode rays.' Hence the name cathode ray tube.
