Question

Which of the following are properties of canal rays?

• A. Canal rays deflect towards negatively charged plate
• B. Canal rays deflect towards postively charged plate
• C. Canal rays travel along a straight path in absence of electric and magnetic field
• D. Canal rays are positively charged radiations due to positive charged sub-atomic particles

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Canal rays deflect towards negatively charged plate
C Canal rays travel along a straight path in absence of electric and magnetic field
D Canal rays are positively charged radiations due to positive charged sub-atomic particles

Canal rays were helped to conclude the existence of sub-atomic particles particularity electrons inside an atom.
Properties of canal rays:
1) Canal rays deflect towards negatively charged plate.
2) Canal rays travel along a straight path in absence of electric and magnetic field.
3) Canal rays are positively charged radiations due to positive charged sub-atomic particles.
