When was plasma discovered?

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.


Why crook tube is called discharge tube?

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.
