Why positive rays called canal rays?
Anode Rays are called the canal rays as the cathode used is perforated and the anode rays pass through the holes or canals of The cathode opposite to the anode.
What are canal rays?
Canal rays, sometimes called anode rays, were first observed in by Eugen Goldstein in 1886. These rays are streams of positive ions in a rarefied gas and have a higher mass compared to electrons.
Why anode rays also known as canal rays?
There are no rays assign as Anode rays canal rays is another name for positive rays in a discharge tube, The X-rays are emitted from anode plate.
How does the mass to charge ratio of cathode rays compare to that of anode rays?
it varies because charge to mass ratio of positive rays depends upon gases used in the discharge tube.its varies from gas to gas.
Why are anode rays called canal rays?
Anode rays are positively charged .so they are bend towards perforated cathode which is negatively charged and pass through them.since they have passed through canals or holes by producing fluorescence. Therefore they are known as canal rays.
What is the old name of cathode rays?
canal rays
E. Goldstein discovered which subatomic particle?
Eugen Goldstein proposed the expression cathode rays(but he was not the discoverer) and discovered the so-called in the era canal rays.
What particles compose of canal rays?
protons
Who discovered canal rays?
Eugene Goldstein
How canal rays discovered?
golstein discovered
What is the difference between electron beam and cathod rays?
X ray is light and belongs to the family of electromagnetic waves. It is said to be photon whose rest mass is zero. X ray does not have charge.Electron is considered as particle which has mass, of 9.1 x10 -31 kg.Electrons posses negative charge that equals 1.602 x 10 -19 C
How is the formation of anode and cathode rays?
Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode. When a high electrical potential of several thousand volts is applied between the cathode and anode, faint luminous "rays" are seen extending from the holes in the back of the cathode. These rays are beams of particles moving in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays," which are streams of electronswhich move toward the anode. Goldstein called these positive rays Kanalstrahlen, "channel rays" or "canal rays", because they were produced by the holes or channels in the cathode
