William Crookes is known for the study of cathode rays.
His father's name was Crookes also.
The Crookes tube is a sealed glass tube that exhibits fluorescence in it after voltage is passed through the electrodes inside. It was invented in 1875 by Sir William Crookes.
A tube!
Plasma was first identified in a Crookes tube, and so described by Sir William Crookes in 1879 (he called it "radiant matter") .The nature of the Crookes tube "cathode ray" matter was subsequently identified by British physicist Sir J.J. Thomson in 1897.The term "plasma" was coined by Irving Langmuir in 1928,perhaps because the glowing discharge molds itself to the shape of the Crooks tube (a thing moulded or formed).Langmuir described his observations as: Except near the electrodes, where there are sheaths containing very few electrons, the ionized gas contains ions and electrons in about equal numbers so that the resultant space charge is very small. We shall use the name plasma to describe this region containing balanced charges of ions and electrons.
1895
Plasma was discovered by using a Crookes tube, wherein air is ionized in an electrical discharge tube, through the application of a high voltage. It was discovered by Sir William Crookes in 1879.
Sir William Crookes was a British chemist who contributed to the knowledge of chemistry. One thing he did was discover an element that had a bright green emission line in its spectrum. He named the previously unknown element thallium.
