Because -- they are?
Or, more specifically, because the particles within cathode rays act exactly like electrons. They either ARE electrons or they do a REAL good job of imitating them.

Cathode rays were shown to be a stream of?
Cathode rays are electrons.
What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
What are the rays in the cathode ray tubepositive or negative or neutral?
The rays produced in a cathode tube in early experiments were actually just streams of electrons. They had a negative charge, which was discovered by JJ Thomson when he placed a magnet next to his cathode ray tube and say the ray bend.
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
Why did the rays move the paddle wheel in cathode ray tube?
momentum of the electrons
Cathode rays were shown to be a stream of?
Cathode rays are electrons.
Is cathode rays are material particles?
The cathode ray is a stream of electrons.
Cathode rays were found to be made of protons.?
Cathode rays are electrons.
What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
What is cothode rays?
cathode rays is the beam of electrons.
Why are cathode rays similar to light?
they aren't. cathode rays are charged electrons, light is uncharged photons.
What is modern name for cathode rays?
A modern day name for cathode rays is an electrons.
Why is the beam of light called a cathode ray?
Cathode rays are beams of electrons.
Why cathode rays are negatively charged?
Cathode rays are produced when the metal cathode has a high voltage applied to it - this has the effect of "boiling" the electrons off the cathode's surface producing cathode rays, and so cathode rays can be seen as a stream of electrons i.e. negatively charged particles.AnswerElectrons are released from the surface of a cathode through thermionic emission. This is achieved by a heaterlocated at the cathode, and not due to a high voltage. The function of the high voltage (between the cathode and an anode placed closer to the screen) is to attract these electrons towards the screen of the CRT. So a 'cathode ray' is simply a beam of electrons which, of course, are negatively charged.
What is the modern-day name for cathode rays?
I dunno if I'm right but I think it is called electrons. I mean, electrons were in cathode Rays and were bent by a magnet right?
What are the rays in the cathode ray tubepositive or negative or neutral?
The rays produced in a cathode tube in early experiments were actually just streams of electrons. They had a negative charge, which was discovered by JJ Thomson when he placed a magnet next to his cathode ray tube and say the ray bend.
Is cathrone rays steams of electron?
yes, cathode rays are streams of electrons
