Question

What is the cathode ray? How was the Nature of cathode rays determined?​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in discharge tubes. In 1897, British physicist J. J. Thomson showed that cathode rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle, which was later named the electron. Cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) use a focused beam of electrons deflected by electric or magnetic fields to render an image on a screen.
