Question

What are canal rays? Give two
characteristics of canal rays?​

Answer 1

Answer:- Canal rays or anode rays were discovered by E Goldstein. These are seen moving from the anode to cathode in a specially designed discharge tube, when a high voltage is applied across the electrodes. These rays are consists of positively charged particles known as protons. The nature of canal rays depends upon the nature of gas enclosed in discharge tube. They have a charge equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to that of electron. Their mass is about 1840 times to that of electron.

Answer 2

Canal rays are positively charged radiations. These rays consist of positively charged particles known as protons. They were discovered by Goldstein in 1886.
