There are no rays assign as anode rays (cathode rays are there in a discharge tube) but during discharge tube experiment positive rays are observed which are generated by decomposition of gaseous molecules present in the tube. X-rays are produced by striking of cathode rays with anode so x-rays may be called as anode rays.

Why anode rays also known as canal rays?

Anode rays are also known as canal rays because they were discovered to be positively charged particles produced in a cathode tube when the cathode rays strike a gas at low pressure. The particles travel in the opposite direction of cathode rays and move towards the anode or positive electrode, hence the name "anode rays."


X-rays consist of fast-moving electrons?

Yes , X-rays consist of first moving electrons ,because high voltage between cathode and anode causes the electrons to accelerate toward the anode,When the electrons strike the anode's target area, X-rays are emitted.

Why positive rays called canal rays?

Positive rays are called canal rays because they are positively charged particles emitted by the anode and accelerated through a small canal or channel in the cathode of a cathode ray tube. These rays were discovered by Eugen Goldstein and were later studied by J.J. Thomson.


Why anode and cathode rays do not get neutralized?

There is no such thing as anode rays!!


What is the nature of charge on cathod rays?

Cathode rays are negatively charged particles, which are typically electrons. These electrons are emitted from the cathode in a vacuum tube and are attracted to the positively charged anode.


What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?

cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them


Anode rays have negative charge?

No, anode rays are not negatively charged. They are positively charged ion.


How anode rays are formed from the gas?

Gas discharge tubes are what cause the formation of the anode rays. Several thousand bolts are put towards the cathode, which is apart of the gas discharge tubes, and the anode. This creates the anode rays.


How does the mass to charge ratio of cathode rays compare to that of anode rays?

it varies because charge to mass ratio of positive rays depends upon gases used in the discharge tube.its varies from gas to gas.


In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?

There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.


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
