Answer» Some PROPERTIES of cathode rays: - They travel linearly
- They have a NEGATIVE electric charge
- They have particle property
- Magnets can deflect them
- Charge/mass ratio of the rays is constant
- They travel from the cathode to the anode
- Their properties are independent from the electrodes and gas present in the cathode ray tube.
- Cathode rays can ionize gas
- The travel more slowly than light
- They can heat objects that they hit
- They can PENETRATE through THIN ALUMINIUM plates
- They can make phosphors glow
