Why is a vacuum needed in the deflection tube?

A vacuum is needed in the deflection tube to prevent the interference of air molecules with the movement of electrons. Air molecules can scatter and absorb electrons, affecting the accuracy of the electron beam's deflection. By removing air and creating a vacuum, the path of the electrons remains unobstructed, allowing for precise control and movement within the tube.


If the beam in a Teltron Tube is blue what is it that makes the electrons visible?

There is no gas in the bulb, only vacuum. The blue beam we see is a special flourid mix that sends out the blue stripe when the electron touches the paper and exidates the electrons in it.


The filaments at the back of the cathode tube shoot a beam of electrons to the screen at the front of the tube?

Yes, the filaments at the back of the cathode tube heat up and release electrons, which are accelerated towards the screen at the front of the tube. These electrons cause phosphors on the screen to emit light, producing the images we see on the display.


The emission of electrons in high-vacuum tubes is caused by?

The heating by the filament causes the electrons to "boil off". Edison noted this phenomena and it was later picked up by Fleming who used a "grid" which could control the flow of the electrons by introducting a repelling field between the Cathode (heated element that emitted the electrons) and the anode that attracted the free electrons, thus the "Fleming Valve" was invented (the vacuum tube.


Why can cathode rays be observed and manipulated within a vacuum tube and not in air?

Actually, they cannot be observed even in a vacuum tube. In a CRT, or cathode ray tube, electrons (this is what "cathode rays" are) are emitted by a heated cathode that is at a negative potential, accelerated by being attracted to a very high positive voltage and magnetically steered so they impact a screen coated with phosphors. When the beam hits the phosphor coating, the phosphor emits visible light. This is what we see, not the electron beam itself. Electrons are free to travel in a vacuum, but they are quickly stopped in air by interacting with all the atoms of gas floating about. This is one reason the air is removed in a CRT, not to mention the hot cathode would almost instantly burn out if air (containing oxygen) were present.

What is the stream of particles originating from a cathode in a vacuum tube?

Not sure of the question, but *electrons flow from cathode to plate in a CRT. A deflection coil guides the electron beam to various areas of the screen. Some CRTs use electrostatic deflection, where the beam is deflected by four grids that steer the beam.


What is a CRT monitore?

Its Short for Cathode Ray Tube and is a vacuum tube inside the computer monitor containing electrons a with internal or external means to accelerate and deflect the electron beam. Its designed like a television box.


What type of particle are cathode rays made of?

electrons A: It is basically a glass vacuum enclosure whereby electrons are emitted from a cathode by a heating element. A grid control the flow of these electrons and finally hit the face of the tube where is rare earth materials emit photons

Function of vacuum tube?

A vacuum tube consists of several electrodes (e.g. cathode, grid(s), beam formers, plate). The cathode is kept red hot by a resistance heater so that it emits electrons. Grids, beam formers, etc. control the flow of these electrons from cathode to plate. The plate collects the electrons. Depending on type of tube and the circuit it is connected to, vacuum tubes can act as: amplifiers, oscillators, modulators, demodulators, mixers, switches, logic gates, pulse shapers, flip-flops, etc. Solid state components like bipolar transistors, JFETs, and MOSFETs can perform these very same functions as vacuum tubes; but with much less heat, power, voltage, size, and higher reliability. Only in applications where high power is absolutely necessary have vacuum tubes retained dominance (e.g. the cavity magnetron microwave power oscillator tube in microwave cookers).


Why vacuum is created in cathode ray tube?

Its not connected to a vacuum pump necesarily but it does have a vacuum inside of it. The reason is the cathode send out a beam of electrons in order to activate the phosphorescent layer on the CRT (lets say the tv screen). The stream of electrons is relatively weak in term of what it is able to penetrate at the same time it has to be acurately deflected by the magnets so that it can accuretly hit a pixel on the tv screen. So if the CRT had air in it the air molecules would get in the way of the electron beams and cause them to be partially absorbed and mis-directed. Also if it had air in it it would expand and crack the actual tube because it would overheat due to the high energy of the electrons.
