Solution

(a) Cathode rays travel can cast a shadow on an opaque object placed in its path showing it travels in a straight path.
(b) Cathode rays can cause a paddlewheel to rotate if it is placed in its path, which shows that cathode rays can produce a mechanical effect or consist of the material parts.
(c) Cathode rays consist of electrons that are negatively charged and they were getting deflected towards the positively charged plate.
