Question

Which of the following statements is correct regarding canal rays?

• A. The mass of the positive rays depends on the atomic weights or molecular weights of the gases in the discharge tube.
• B. The deflection of positive rays under the influence of an electric and magnetic fields is smaller than that of the cathode rays
• C. Canal rays travel from the positive electrode to the negative electrode
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Mass of the canal rays or anode rays depend on the nature of the gas taken because they have different atomic weights or molecular weights.
Deflection of positive rays under the influence of electric and magnetic fields is smaller since the mass of an electron is minimum.
Anode rays travel from the anode to the cathode.
