Question

Goldstein observed that the deflection of anode rays in an electric field was ________ when compared to the deflection of cathode rays.

• A. huge
• B. 100 times bigger
• C. equal
• D. very small

Answer 1

The correct option is D very small

1. Anode rays consists of positively charged particles.
2. Anode rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fiels. The deflection is very little when compared to the deflection of cathode rays because they consist of heavy particles (nucleus).
