  • It can be deflected by application of electric and magnetic fields.
  • When the cathode rays are allowed” to fall on matter, they produce heat.
  • They affect the photographic plates and also produce fluorescence when they fall on certain crystals and minerals.
  • When the cathode rays fall on a material of high atomic weight, x-rays are produced.
  • Cathode rays ionize the gas through which they pass.
