Answer 2

The correct statement is- II. Charge to mass ratio of anode rays particles depends on the gas taken in the tube.

Properties of cathode rays-

• Cathode rays travel in a straight line from cathode to anode. However, in the presence of a magnetic or electric field, they deflect.
• These are negatively charged rays having charge to mass ratio constant.
• The properties of cathode rays do not depend upon the gas present in the cathode tube.

Properties of anode rays-

• Similar to cathode rays, these rays also travel in a straight line.
• Anode rays contain positively charged ions that are deflected in the presence of an electric or magnetic field.
• The charge to mass ratio of anode rays depends upon the gas taken in the discharge tube. Thus, different gases produce different types of anode rays.
