Question

What conclusion could Thomson make from his cathode ray experiment?

Answer 1

His conclusion was that mass to charge ratio was over a thousand times lower than that of a hydrogen ion, and that the particles were very light or very highly charged. They are in very light and carry the same amount of charge as the hydrogen ion, but are negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The stream of electrons in cathode ray tube constitutes the cathode rays. Electrons are emitted by hot filament by the process of thermionic emission. These electrons pass through controlling and focusing device . They are accelerated by applying appropriate voltage between cathode and anode and finally made incident on a flourascent screen after passing through cross electric and magnetic fields.
