Question

Explain the origin of Anode rays.

❤️❤️​

Answer 1

$\huge\star\underline\mathcal\purple{ANSWER}$

Anode rays are produced in the space between the anode and the cathode. When the high electrical energy is supplied between the electrodes, it splits molecules of the gas present in the tube into atoms. The electrons present in these atoms further absorb electrical energy and and are knocked out. The electrons thus knocked out travel towards anode and form a part of cathode rays. The remaining part of the atom becomes a positively charged particle. These positively charged particles travel in the form of a stream towards the cathode and constitute anode rays.

Answer 2

$\bigstar\underline\mathrm\red{Origin\:of\:anode\:rays}$

These rays were found to consist of positively charged particles and were called anode rays or positive rays or canal rays. These rays are believed to be produced as a result of the knock out of the electrons from the gaseous atoms by the bombardment of high speed electrons of the cathode rays on them.
