- Cathode rays are not electromagnetic rays because the cathode ray is a beam of electrons that travel from the negatively charged to positively charged end of a vacuum tube, across a voltage difference between the electrodes placed at each end.
- The electrode at the negative end is called a cathode; the electrode at the positive end is called an anode.
- Since electrons are repelled by the negative charge, the cathode is seen as the "source" of the cathode ray in the vacuum chamber.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
Are X-rays longitudinal or transverse?
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
Why cathode ray are not electro-magnetic waves?
A cathode ray is a stream of electrons, not a stream of photons like the electromagnetic wave. It's a different type of particle. The electrons don't move at light speed in a vacuum; also, they are electrically charged.
Are suns rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
What would happen to cathode rays in a vacuum?
Cathode rays in a vacuum would travel until stopped (or deflected by an electromagnetic field).
Is optical rays are electromagnetic wave?
yes Optical Rays are Electromagnetic Waves.... (-:
What are the similarities between gamma rays and radio waves?
Both are electromagnetic waves.
Are the sun's rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
What kind of waves do x-rays come from?
X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
What waves are on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The waves on the electromagnetic spectrum include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What are the highest frequency electromagnetic waves?
The highest frequency electromagnetic waves are gamma rays.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
Is gamma rays are transverse rays?
Yes. All electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
