Cathode rays are a beam of fast moving electrons.
Cathode rays are nothing but a beam of fast-moving electrons emitted from the cathode of a high vacuum tube.
Hence the given statement is true.
Why are cathode rays considered to be a stream of electrons?
The electrons in an electrolytic cell move from cathode to anode and also in a cathode ray experiment the cathode rays move from cathode toanode. So why we have to create an electromagnetic feild for just knowing th charge of the atoms?
