characteristics of cathode rays
Answers
Answer:
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.
Explanation:
→Cathode ray start from cathode and move towards anode
→These rays are invisible but cause
fluorescent materials to glow when hit by
them
→In the absence of electric and magnetic
fields,these Ray travel in straight line
→Cathode rays cast Shadow of an object placed in its path and produces mechanical effects on a small Paddle wheel
→These rays consist of positively charged particles ( fast moving and are deflected by electrical and magnetic fields )
→Characteristics of cathode rays doesn't
depend on the nature of electrode nature
of the gas present in it
→Cathode rays penetrate through thin
sheets of Al and metals
→They affect photographic plates
→charge to mass ratio is universal constant for cathode rays
