Question

State three properties of a positive ray.

Answer 1

Properties of a positive ray are:

• Positive rays are composed of positively charged particles called protons.
• These rays are attracted towards the negative terminal of the electric field and repelled by the positive terminal of the electrical field.
• These rays originate from the anode and are also known as canal or anode rays.
• The mass carried by the particles of a positive ray is equal to the mass of a Hydrogen (H) atom (1.672 ×10^-24 g).
