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.


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.

The em value of cathode rays is always constant but the em value of positive rays is not constant why?

Anode rays differ from cathode rays in several aspects and their specific charge(charge/mass or e/m ratio) is an important feature. The reason lies in how anode rays are produced. Anode rays are produced when a gas at low pressure is subjected to a high voltage(10,000 Volts). Under these conditions, the atoms of the gas get ionized, i.e. they lose some electrons and thus become cations(positive ions). It is a stream of these positive ions that become 'anode rays'. However, the atomic masses of different gases are different and hence, the mass of anode ray particles varies when you use different gases in the discharge tube and hence, the charge/mass ratio also varies. Whereas, in the case of cathode rays, the cathode ray particles are nothing but electrons. Their charge and mass is constant no matter what gas you use in the discharge tube. So, their charge/mass ratio remains constant. (ANSWER BY RIZWAN FROM PAKISTAN)


Why is hydrogen filled at low pressure in the discharge tube?

because gases do not conduct electricity under normal pressure so at pressure of 0.1-0.001 mmHg with very high potential difference of 5000 to 10000 volts gases conduct electricity and produce fluorescence on the wall of discharge tube and it also avoid the collision of cathode rays with the positive rays


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.


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


What are the positive points of ulteraviolet rays?

Ultraviolet rays can be used as for fluorescent lamps as certain chemicals glow when they absorb ultraviolet. In fluorescent lamps, the sindide of the tube is coated with a white powder that gives off light when it absorbs ultraviolet. The ultraviolet is produced by passing a current through a gas in the tube.


Do the rays produced in cathode tube deflect towards negative plate?

The electron beam produced in the cathode is essentially negative (with respect to the anode), therefore it tends to go towards potentials above the cathode's potential (more positive or less negative, as you wish).
