Johann Wilhelm Hittorf, a German physicist, is credited with discovering the gas discharge tube in the mid-19th century. His experiments with cathode rays in partially evacuated tubes laid the foundation for the development of early gas discharge tubes.
If it's a *Crookes* tube you're asking about, it's a discharge tube because the applied electrical field causes ionization and a resulting discharge of energy in the form (mostly) of light, depending on the gas or gases in the tube.
When viewing a discharge tube of gas through a hand-held spectroscope, bright lines appear because the gas inside the tube emits specific wavelengths of light when energized. The spectroscope separates the light into its component colors or wavelengths, allowing you to see the discrete emission lines characteristic of the gas present in the tube.
When the pressure is reduced in a discharge tube, the mean free path of the gas molecules increases. This allows the gas molecules to gain more energy and move freely, colliding with the charged particles in the discharge tube and facilitating the flow of electric charge. As a result, the gases become partially ionized, creating a conductive path for the electricity.
Yes, the ratio of anode rays (or positive ions) depends on the nature of the gas present in the discharge tube. Different gases ionize at varying rates and produce different types of positive ions, which can affect the mass-to-charge ratio of the anode rays. Consequently, the composition of the gas influences the characteristics and behavior of the anode rays generated during discharge.
In a discharge tube, gas molecules are ionized when they gain enough energy from an electric field. This ionization process results in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions, which can then interact with each other and with the electric field to produce light or other phenomena. The ionization of gas is essential for the operation of devices such as neon lights or fluorescent tubes.

Actually there are many subatomic particles from them following were discovered by: 1)Electron discovered by J.J Thomson through discharge tube experiment. 2)Proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford through discharge tube experiment. 3)Neutron was discovered by James Chadwick by Artificial radioactivity.
Plasma was discovered by using a Crookes tube, wherein air is ionized in an electrical discharge tube, through the application of a high voltage. It was discovered by Sir William Crookes in 1879.
At very low pressure in a discharge tube, there are fewer gas atoms present to ionize and produce light. This results in fewer collisions and less emission of visible light, causing the discharge tube to appear dark.

The spectroscope separates the light into its component colors or wavelengths, allowing you to see the discrete emission lines characteristic of the gas present in the tube.
A discharge tube is a type of gas-filled tube that emits light when an electric current passes through it, commonly used in neon signs or plasma displays. On the other hand, a tube light is a type of fluorescent lamp that uses a phosphor coating inside a glass tube to produce light. While both types of tubes rely on gas and electric current to produce light, they differ in their construction and application.

The spectrum emitted by a discharge tube typically consists of discrete lines corresponding to the characteristic emission wavelengths of the elements or gases inside the tube. This emission spectrum results from the de-excitation of electrons in the atoms or molecules within the tube when they return to lower energy levels, emitting photons of specific energies. This emission pattern is unique to each element or gas, enabling scientists to identify the substances present in the discharge tube.
Krypton is a noble gas that can sometimes exhibit a blue color in certain applications, such as in lighting and laser technology.
due to difference in mass of different type of species
Using internal mirrors inside tube,mirror get eroded by gas discharge Ang need to be replace .the resonator mirror external to laser cavity create great flexibility but when it used the ends of discharge tube cause a loss due to reflection
