Question

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the anode ray experiment.

• A.
  A new type of radiation was observed which was moving from anode to cathode
• B.
  These rays are called canal rays
• C.
  Radiation contains negatively charged particles
• D.
  A porous or perforated cathode was used

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Radiation contains negatively charged particles
A new type of radiation was discovered by Goldstein from the anode ray experiment which is moving from the anode to the cathode i.e., from the negative electrode to the positive electrode which confirms that the radiation must contain the positively charged particles.
