Question
Which of the following statement is not correct about the characteristics of cathode rays?
Options
They start from the cathode and move towards the anode.
They travel in straight line in the absence of an external electrical or magnetic field.
Characteristics of cathode rays do not depend upon the material of electrodes in cathode ray tube.
Characteristics of cathode rays depend upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube.
Solution
Characteristics of cathode rays depend upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube.
Explanation:
As per the result obtained from the cathode ray discharge tube experiment the characteristics of cathode rays (electrons) does not depend upon the material of electrodes and the nature of the gas present in the cathode ray tube. Which concludes that electrons are the basic constituent of all atoms.
