Question
How does cathode ray differ from as anode rays?
Solution
|
Cathode rays |
Anode rays |
|
These rays travel from the cathode to the anode. |
These rays travel from the anode to the cathode. |
|
They are made of negatively charged particles. |
They are made of positively charged particles. |
|
They produce a greenish-yellow fluorescence on a soda-glass screen. |
They produce fluorescence on a zinc sulphide screen. |
|
They are affected by an electric field, i.e. they are inflected towards a positive field and deflected towards a negative field. |
They are deflected by electric and magnetic fields but in a direction opposite to that of cathode rays. |
