Question

List the Properties of Cathode Rays​

Answer 1

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.
• Cathode rays can ionize gas
• The travel more slowly than light
• They can heat objects that they hit
• They can penetrate through thin Aluminium plates
• They can make phosphors glow

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.
