Question
Why are anode rays also called as 'canal rays'?
Advertisements
Solution
When perforated rays were used in the discharge tube, another set of rays travelling in a direction opposite to that of the cathode rays, i.e. from the anode towards the cathode, is seen, as in the figure below. These rays are called canal rays because they passed through the holes or canals in the cathode. These rays were named positive rays or anode rays.
