Question

List out the different characteristics of anode rays.

Answer 1

The characteristics of anode rays are:

1. They consist of positively charged particles.

2. They are deflected by electrical and magnetic fields. The deflection is very little when compared to the deflection of cathode rays because they consist of heavy particles

3. The deflection of the anode rays depends on the nature of the rays in the discharge tube. Heavier the gas lowers the depletion.
