Cathode rays are a stream of electrons originating from cathode and moving to an anode, when high voltage electric potential is applied to the electrodes sealed in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure.
Cathode rays are stream of negativley charged electrons getting detached right from neutral molecues due to high voltage and driven right from cathode to anode.

· Produce mechanical effect: A paddle wheel placed in their path starts rotating.
· Rays are positively charged: Anode rays are deflected towards the negative plate of an electric field.
· The nature of the anode rays depends upon the gas taken in the discharge tube. Different gases give different types of positive rays, which contain particles having different masses and different charges. Therefore the (e/m) ratio is not constant for positive ray particles obtained from different gases.

Is cathode rays are material particles?
The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
What are the consequences of discharge tube?
Ddischarge tube led to the discovery of Cathode rays (electrons) and Positive rays (protons) so this discovery of cathode rays and positive rays can be considered as conse quences of discharge tube.
Are anode rays emitted from anode?
There are no rays assign as anode rays (cathode rays are there in a discharge tube) but during discharge tube experiment positive rays are observed which are generated by decomposition of gaseous molecules present in the tube. X-rays are produced by striking of cathode rays with anode so x-rays may be called as anode rays.
Which scientist discovered that cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles?
English Physicist J.J. Thomson (1856-1940)
What was JJ Thompson working with when he discovered the cathode rays?
Electrons.
Cathode rays were found to be made of protons.?
Cathode rays are electrons.
How are x rays made?
X- RAY made from cathode ray osloscope
Cathode rays were shown to be a stream of?
Cathode rays are electrons.
What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
What is the charge of the particle in cathode rays?
Cathode rays are attracted to the positive charge on the anode! They are repelled by the negative charge on the cathode.
What is the modern day name for cathode rays?
Cathode rays are electron beams.
How do negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?
negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
Is cathode rays are material particles?
The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
Who said Cathode rays are made up of negayively charged particles?
J.J.Thompson
Thomson made his discovery about the atom during an experiment using?
Cathode Rays
What did experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of what?
experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the Electron.
