Anode rays have negative charge?

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


What is similar to a He nucleus?

Alpha rays are He nucleii.They are positively charged.


How do charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?

The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.


How do charged plates affect the plates of cathode rays?

The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.


What are the characteristics of alpha rays?

Alpha rays are positively charged particles emitted by certain radioactive materials. They consist of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to a helium nucleus. Alpha rays have a low penetrating power and can be stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin.


What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?

The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.


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.


When Thomson held a positively charged plate near the cathode ray the beam bent toward the plate What conclusion can be drawn from this observation?

The beam bending towards the positively charged plate indicates that the cathode rays are negatively charged. This observation led Thomson to conclude that the cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles, which we now know as electrons.


Of the three types of radioactivity characterized by Rutherford, which is\are electrically chargedA)B-rays B)a-rays and B-rays?

A)B-rays are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged. Alpha (a-rays) and gamma (y-rays) rays are both uncharged, or neutral, particles. B-rays, or beta particles, are high-energy electrons that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom and are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged.


What are alpha rays attracted to?

Magnetic fieldsNegatively charged objects


Why are anode rays called canal rays?

Anode rays are positively charged .so they are bend towards perforated cathode which is negatively charged and pass through them.since they have passed through canals or holes by producing fluorescence. Therefore they are known as canal rays.


Are anode rays emitted from anode?

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.
