How do scientists detect cathode rays?

Cathode rays are found in vacuum tubes. Scientists are able to view them when they are a negative cathode because they emit a light and can glow.


Is a cathode-ray tube and an iconoscope the same thing?

No. A cathode ray tube uses cathode rays to (among other things) scan a phospher and generate an image. An iconoscope is similar, in that its uses cathode rays to scan, but it scans a light sensitive area so, instead of generating an image, the iconoscope scans an image. It is a television camera, instead of a television set, so to speak.

What is the charge of the particle in cathode rays?

The charge of the particle in cathode rays is negative. This was determined by J.J. Thomson through his experiments with cathode ray tubes in the late 19th century, which led to the discovery of the electron.
