Want this question answered?
negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
Thompson observed that these rays are negatively electrically charged.
The cathode "ray' must have been made up of negatively charged particles, now called electrons.
Cathode rays are produced when the metal cathode has a high voltage applied to it - this has the effect of "boiling" the electrons off the cathode's surface producing cathode rays, and so cathode rays can be seen as a stream of electrons i.e. negatively charged particles.AnswerElectrons are released from the surface of a cathode through thermionic emission. This is achieved by a heaterlocated at the cathode, and not due to a high voltage. The function of the high voltage (between the cathode and an anode placed closer to the screen) is to attract these electrons towards the screen of the CRT. So a 'cathode ray' is simply a beam of electrons which, of course, are negatively charged.
Were composed of no charge particles .
JJ Thomson.
They are found to be deflected by electric and magnetic field in the specific direction in which a negatively charged particle would get deflected.
Cathode rays are negatively-charged particles.
negatively charged
Thomson set out to prove that the cathode rays produced from the cathode were actually a stream of negatively charged particles called electrons.
English Physicist J.J. Thomson (1856-1940)
negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
its negatively charged particles of matter,Thomson knew that opposites attract but these the positive charged anode,so he reasoned that the paticles must be negatively charged! : )! Wooooo! Go J.J Thomson
Thomson appreciated in 1897 that the cathode rays are formed from negative electrically charged very small particles. These particles are the electrons. From this Thomson concluded that the atom is not indivisible and also that the atom must contain and a positive charged particle.
Thompson observed that these rays are negatively electrically charged.
The cathode "ray' must have been made up of negatively charged particles, now called electrons.
basically JJ Thomson wanted to find out what a cathode ray was made of. Cathode tubes are a tube with wires in them. Scientists discovered that if the created a vacuum in the tube and sent a charge through the wires, it glowed. JJ Thomson set up a cathode ray and placed magnets on either side. This deflected the ray so the tube didn't glow. This meant the rays were negatively charged which meant they were made of negatively charged particles or electrons.
