Answer 1

Study of Cathode Rays

♦ Cathode rays get deflected in Electric Field.

♦ Cathode rays get deflected in Magnetic Field. (Both forces can cancel out each other)

♦ Cathode rays creates shadow of opaque bodies (refer to attached image)

♦ Cathode rays posses kinetic energy because they can move a light paddle wheel

♦ Cathode rays produces x - rays on hitting the hard targets.

♦ Cathode rays nature is independent of the nature of gas used discharge/crookes tube
