I am about to take this exam myself, so maybe I can help both of us with this.

The choices are:

A.) anode

B.) cathode

C.) deflecting plates

D.) grid

The answer starts on page 86 of your study guide, titled "Cathode Ray Tubes".

In this illustration, current supplied to the heater causes emission of electrons from the cathode. Those electrons pass toward the anodes through an opening in the control grid. The grid limits the number of electrons that can pass through it, and the anodes cause the electrons passing the grid to a point on the fluorescent screen. Also, two deflecting plates are placed in the path of the beam electrons. When a voltage is applied to these plates, the beam is deflected toward the positively charged plates. If the applied voltage is alternating, the beam moves up and down through its normal central position, and the luminous spot moves on the screen in the same way.

Based on this information I have deduced thus...

The answer is not A.) anode. Because the anodes job is to pass the electrons the grid allowed through to the point on the fluorescent screen.

The answer is not B.) cathode. Because the cathode when heated causes emission of electrons, its purpose is not to limit the number of electrons, just to produce the electrons. The answer is not C.) deflecting plates. Because their job is to use the emitted electrons allowed through the grid to make the projection. So, the answer must be D.) Grid. Because the grid limits the number of electrons that can pass through it!

Like I said, I have not taken this exam myself. However, based on the reading material, D just makes sense!

What is a fluorescent screen?

A fluorescent screen is a surface coated with a phosphor material that emits visible light when struck by electrons. It is commonly used in cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and other types of electronic displays to convert electrons into visible light, allowing images or text to be displayed.


Beams of electrons that shine on fluorescent materials are used in?

fluorescence microscopy to excite fluorescence in the sample, allowing visualization of specific structures or molecules.


Where did the electrons from cathode ray come from?

In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the particles, which are electrons, originate at the heated cathode, becoming the so-called cathode rays. The electrons stream off the cathode and rush over to the anode.


How were electrons produced from the cathode ray ube?

Electrons were produced in a cathode ray tube by applying a high voltage to the cathode, causing electrons to be emitted through thermionic emission. These electrons were then accelerated towards the anode by the electric field within the tube, creating a beam of electrons known as the cathode ray.


Why electrons of cathode does not end up after some time because of its continuous emission of electrons?

Electrons in the cathode do not end up because they are continuously being replenished by the power source connected to the cathode. This power source provides the necessary energy to liberate electrons from the cathode material, ensuring a constant supply of electrons available for emission.


What are functions of CRT?

Cathode ray tubes have the task of converting electronic signals into a beam of electrons that create pictures on a screen. In most cases, the screens are made of fluorescent tubes.


How do cathode ray tubes work?

The cathode ray tube (CRT) is an evacuated glass envelope containing an electron gun (a source of electrons) and a fluorescent screen, usually with internal or external means to accelerate and deflect the electrons. When electrons strike the fluorescent screen, light is emitted. Source: Copied from Wikipedia


What following piece of equipment was used by jj Thomson to find electrons?

J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to discover electrons. By passing an electric current through the tube, he observed the deflection of a beam of electrons, which led to his conclusion about the existence of electrons.

Difference between direct and indirect cathode ray?

In a directly heated cathode, the filament is the cathode and emits the electrons. In an indirectly heated cathode, the filament or heater heats a separate metal cathode electrode which emits the electrons.


In the cathode ray tube where do the particles originate?

In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the particles, which are electrons, originate at the heated cathode, becoming the so-called cathode rays. The electrons stream off the cathode and rush over to the anode.
