What is electron beam therapy also called?

It is sometimes called cobalt therapy, radiation therapy, x-ray therapy radiation treatment, radiotherapy, or irradiation


In thomson's experiment why was the glowing beam repelled by a negatively charged plate?

The experiment showed the relation of positive/negative charges. The beam was made of positively charged ions, which were repelled. -there is another answer to this question that says " because it was attracted to the positive charged plate" this is FALSE, this is just a person trying to make a smart remark. --------- Cathode rays are a beam of electrons; electrons are elementary particles with a negative electrical charge.


Electrons found in the outer shell or orbital are called?

These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."


What causes an emission when the SEM's primary electron beam bombards a specimen?

When the SEM's primary electron beam hits the specimen, it causes excitation of atoms in the specimen. This excitation leads to the emission of secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, characteristic X-rays, and Auger electrons, which are then detected by various detectors in the SEM for imaging and analysis.


What evidence did Thomson have that his glowing beam contained negative particles?

J.J. Thomson discovered that his glowing beam contained negative particles by observing the deflection of the beam in an electric field and measuring the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles. This led to his conclusion that the particles in the beam were negatively charged electrons.

A microscope that uses a beam of electrons to examine a specimen is called?

A microscope that uses a beam of electrons to examine a specimen is called a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). This type of microscope generates high-resolution images by transmitting electrons through a thin specimen to create a detailed image of its internal structure.


Who made the beam of electrons in vacuum tube?

J.J. Thomson is credited with creating the first beam of electrons in a vacuum tube in the late 19th century. This discovery led to the development of the cathode ray tube, which was integral to the development of television and other electronic displays.

What is a microscope that uses beam of electrons to examine a specimen called?

That would be a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). It uses a beam of electrons to pass through a thin specimen, creating a magnified image that allows for detailed examination at the atomic level.


What is a tool that uses a magnetic field to focus a beam of electrons?

A tool that uses a magnetic field to focus a beam of electrons is called an electron microscope. It uses electromagnets to control and focus the path of electrons, allowing for high-resolution imaging of very small objects.


What is the speed of electrons in the beam?

The speed of electrons in the beam is typically close to the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
