Question

Anode rays are also called Canal rays because they pass through the holes of the anode.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The first experiment that led to the discovery of the positive particle was conducted by Goldstein in 1886.
• He used a perforated cathode in the modified cathode ray tube. It was observed that when a high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also, a new type of rays was produced simultaneously from the anode moving towards the cathode and passing through the holes or canals of the cathode.
• These rays were termed canal rays since they passed through the canals of the cathode.
• These were also named anode rays as they originated from an anode.

Hence, The given statement is false.
