Structure of the Atom

Question:

What are the properties of anode rays?

Answer:


  1. Anode rays travel along straight path and cast shadow of the objects placed in their path.
  2. They rotate a light paddle wheel placed in their path. It indicates the anode rays consist of particles and carry energy.
  3. They deflect towards negatively charged plate. It shows anode rays carry positive charge.
