Solution

The observation and conclusions drawn by J.J. Thomson while conducting the experiment with a discharge tube for studying the property of cathode-ray are as follow:

  • As cathode-ray results in the formation of shadow. it shows they travel in a straight line.
  • As cathode-ray provides rotation to the paddlewheel it means they carry mass and kinetic energy.
  • As cathode-ray bends in an electric and magnetic field it means they are formed by a charged particle.
  • Their property does not depend on the nature of gas and cathode.
