Solution

Anode Rays
Anode rays are positively charged rays, which are also known as canal rays as they pass through the holes of the cathode.
These rays travel in the opposite direction as that of the cathode rays.
In gas-discharge tubes, the beam of positive ions is created which is known as Anode rays.
Anode rays are deflected towards the negatively charged plates.
Two conditions for the production of anode rays:
The electrical discharge takes place at very low pressures.
The electrical discharge occurs at very high voltages.
Properties of anode rays
Anode rays travel in a uniform fashion in straight lines when an electric or magnetic field is not present.
Due to their positive charge, anode rays are capable to deflect the magnetic field lines and electric field lines.
