Solution

Cathode rays- A beam of negatively charged particles coming out of cathode when an electric charge is passed through gases at very low temperature.These rays travel in straight line.These are deflected by electric and magnetic field.

Anode rays- A beam of positively charged particles coming out of anode when an electric charge is passed through gases at very low temperature. These rays also travel in straight line but their velocity is less than that of cathode rays.These are deflected by electric and magnetic field but the magnitude is less than that of cathode rays.
