Question

Give five characteristics of cathode rays.

Answer 1

Cathode ray

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.
