- Cathode rays consists of material particles.
- When electric field is appled to a stream of cathode rays, they get deflected towards positive plate. It shows that cathode rays are negatively charged themselves.
- when magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the path of cathode rays, they get deflected in the direction expected for negative particles. It confirmed that cathodes rays are negatively charged.
- Cathode rays produce x - rays when are made to fall on metals such as tungsten, copper etc.
- Cathode rays travel in a straight line. An object placed in the path of cathode rays casts a sharp shadow. It shows that cathode rays travel in straight lines.
