What is the difference between Cathode rays and Anode rays ?
The difference between Cathode rays and Anode rays are: Cathode rays • Cathode rays consist of negatively charged material particles called electrons. • These rays deflect towards the positive plate of an electric field. • The charge to mass ratio (e / m) for the particles in the nature of the gas taken in the discharge tube. Anode rays • These rays consists of positively charges material particles. • These rays deflect towards the negative plate of an electric field. • The charge to mass (e / m) ratio of the particles in anode rays depends upon the nature of the gas taken in the discharge tube.
