negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
in a cathode ray tube the cathode rays move towards the anode(positively charged) fixed plate.
they aren't. cathode rays are charged electrons, light is uncharged photons.
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
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
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.
They found that the rays bent towards positively charged plates and away from negatively charged plates. Knowing that objects which have like charges repel eachother, they concluded that the rays have a negative charge.
Cathode rays are attracted to the positive charge on the anode! They are repelled by the negative charge on the cathode.
Cathode rays are high speed electrons. So they are negatively charged.

The negatively charged particle called electron.
