Dr. Eugen Goldstein was a German physicist who was an early researcher in the area of discharge tubes and atoms, and has also been credited with the discovery of the proton. Goldstein worked at both the Berlin Observatory and the Potsdam Observatory during his career. While conducting research using Crookes tubes, Dr. Goldstein discovered that the tubes emitted light and that magnetic fields had an influence on that light. He eventually named these light rays Cathode rays. This research was the foundation of the eventual discovery of 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.
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.
Electrons consist of of ?
Yes , X-rays consist of first moving electrons ,because high voltage between cathode and anode causes the electrons to accelerate toward the anode,When the electrons strike the anode's target area, X-rays are emitted.
In the production of anode rays why perforated cathode plate is used?
For the formation of the anode ray which is the opposit in direction of the cathod ray.
Why goldstein used perforated cathode in proton discovery?
So that the Canal Rays(Anode Rays) could pass through it.
Why anode and cathode rays do not get neutralized?
There is no such thing 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.
What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
Why positive rays called canal rays?
Anode Rays are called the canal rays as the cathode used is perforated and the anode rays pass through the holes or canals of The cathode opposite to the anode.
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.
Anode rays have negative charge?
No, anode rays are not negatively charged. They are positively charged ion.
How anode rays are formed from the gas?
Gas discharge tubes are what cause the formation of the anode rays. Several thousand bolts are put towards the cathode, which is apart of the gas discharge tubes, and the anode. This creates the anode rays.
How does the mass to charge ratio of cathode rays compare to that of anode rays?
it varies because charge to mass ratio of positive rays depends upon gases used in the discharge tube.its varies from gas to gas.
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
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.
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
X-rays consist of fast-moving electrons?
Yes , X-rays consist of first moving electrons ,because high voltage between cathode and anode causes the electrons to accelerate toward the anode,When the electrons strike the anode's target area, X-rays are emitted.
