 what are properties of cathode rays

Properties of the cathode rays:

1) Cathode rays travels in a straight lines and are made up of negatively charged particles called electrons.

2) When cathode rays are focused on a thin metal foil, it gets heated up to incandescence.

3) Cathode rays consists of material particles: This is indicated by the fact that when a light paddle wheel is placed in the path of cathode rays it starts rotating.

4)Cathode rays ionize the gas through which they passed.

5) Effect of electric field: Under influence of the electric field cathode rays deflected towards the positive plate showing that they themselves are negatively charged.

Good effort everyone. We appreciate your contribution to the forum. Enjoy learning and keep posting :)

The properties of cathode rays are:

1) Cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles called electrons.

2) Cathode rays generally travel in a straight line.

3) Cathode rays travel from the cathode towards the anode.

4) Cathode rays rise the temperature of the metallic substance that they pass through.

5) Cathode rays are deflected from their paths due to electric and magnetic fields.
