The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
"Cathode rays" are beams of electrons.
No it is radiation
they are material particles!
Experiments with cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron.
Cathode rays are negatively-charged particles.
Cathode rays are a stream of electrons originating from cathode and moving to an anode, when high voltage electric potential is applied to the electrodes sealed in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure.Cathode rays are stream of negativley charged electrons getting detached right from neutral molecues due to high voltage and driven right from cathode to anode.
English Physicist J.J. Thomson (1856-1940)
they are material particles!
Cathode rays are attracted to the positive charge on the anode! They are repelled by the negative charge on the cathode.
in a cathode ray tube the cathode rays move towards the anode(positively charged) fixed plate.
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.
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.
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
Experiments with cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron.
Cathode rays are high speed electrons. So they are negatively charged.
In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the particles, which are electrons, originate at the heated cathode, becoming the so-called cathode rays. The electrons stream off the cathode and rush over to the anode.
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.
J.J.Thompson
they are deflected toward positive terminal in an electric field
