Solution

The diagram to illustrate anode ray generation
Explanation
An anode ray is a positive-ion beam produced by specific types of gas-discharge tubes.
The nature of anode rays is determined by the gas used in the tube because these rays are created from the gases that are present in the tube.
Various kinds of positive rays exist in several gases each containing particles of varying mass and charge.
As a result, the anode's charge to mass ratio is affected by the gas. This proportion does not remain constant.
