he dint did nething to deflect them thet went straight to the anode +ve of the tube becoz opposite attracts.

What did Thomson use in his experiments?
J.J. Thomson studied the deflection of cathode rays in electric and magnetic fields.
What was Thompson working with when he discovered the cathode rays?
Thomson discovered cathode rays when he was working with electrons. He was performing experiments with the electrons when one of them became electrically charged and a beam of light came from it, this creating a cathode ray.
How did the results of JJ Thomson's experiments change how scientists thought about atoms?
He described the atom as a sea of positive charge sprinkled with electrons
What did JJ Thomson's experiment show?
A. the atom is like a uniform sphere.b. Cathode rays are made up of electrons.c. All atoms undergo radioacitve decay.d. Isotopes undergo radioactive decay.The answer is A!The atom is like a uniform spere!
What did eugen goldstein contribute in the history of atom?
He is sometimes called the discoverer of protons. He did experiments with cathode ray tubes, which knock electrons off atoms and attract them to a positively-charged electrode (the cathode). He noticed that a second stream of particles was attracted to the negatively-charged electrode (the anode), so he called them anode rays. However, it was left to one of his students to discover that these rays were sometimes pure protons. His experiments gave him a picture of atomic structure that was decades ahead of its time, and similar to what we know today. However, he did not follow up on his work, and was largely ignored by his peers.
Did J J Thomson's experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the neutron?
No. JJ Thomson's experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the electron.
What did j.j Thomson experiment with?
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron studying the deflection of cathode rays.
What experimrents did jj Thomson?
After experiments with cathode rays Thomson discovered that these rays are deflected in an electrical field; and from this he proposed the existence of electrons.
What would happen to the deflection of the cathode ray if the particle in the rays were heavier?
deflect more
Who discovered anode and cathode rays?
Cathode rays were discovered by JJ Thomson and carry a negative charge Anode rays were discovered by Goldstein and carry a positive charge.
What did Thomson use in his experiments?
J.J. Thomson studied the deflection of cathode rays in electric and magnetic fields.
What did Thomson conclude about the particles in cathode?
The immaterial nature and the aetherial hypothesis of cathode rays were proved wrong by J. J. Thomson. He concluded that the rays were comprised of particles. His entire works can be divided into three different experiments. In the first, the magnetic effect on cathode rays was studied while in the second, the rays were deflected by an electric field.
Thomson made his discovery about the atom during an experiment using?
Cathode Rays
What evidence convinced Thomson that cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles?
In a series of experiments in the 1890's, J.J.Thompson showed that cathode rays, or electrons, are deflected by an electric field, they are bent by a magnetic field, and that their charge to mass ratio is about 1/2000th of that of the proton. Light does not have any of these properties.
Why did Thomson think that atom must contain positive charges?
The cathode rays were deflected.
How are cathode rays originated?
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
What following piece of equipment was used by jj Thomson to find electrons?
JJ Thomson discovered electrons using a cathode ray tube.
