write the properties of cathode rays
Answers
Explanation:
1. Cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles .
2 . They experience deflection in electric and magnetic fields which proves their negative nature .
3 . Their collission with everyday matter produces heat (minimal ).
4 . They travel as a beam in the cathode ray tube and have been used for several experiments in the subject of physics and chemistry .

Properties of Cathode Rays
i. The cathode rays start from cathode and move towards the anode.
ii. They are invisible, but their behaviour can be observed with the help of fluorescent or phosphorescent materials.
iii. In the absence of electrical or magnetic field, these rays travel in straight lines.
iv. In the presence of electric or magnetic field, the cathode rays behave similar to that of negatively charged particles. From this it is clear that the cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles called electrons.
v. The characteristics of cathode rays (electrons) do not depend upon the material of electrodes and the nature of the gas present in the cathode ray tube.
vi. These rays possess kinetic energy and hence can do mechanical work.
vii. They can produce x-rays when incident on metals with high atomic mass.
