Question
All the gases from cathode rays anode rays when electricity is passed through them :
What does the formation of anode rays tell us about the atoms?
Solution
When a perforated cathode is used in a discharge tube, another set of rays travelling in the direction opposite to that of the cathode rays is seen. These rays are called anode rays. Formation of anode rays tells about the presence of protons in all the atoms.
