X-rays and Cathode Rays

1. Introduction to Cathode Rays

1. Cathode rays are streams of electrons emitted from the cathode in a vacuum tube.
2. They were first observed by J.J. Thomson, who identified them as negatively charged particles (electrons).
3. Cathode rays are produced when a high voltage is applied across a vacuum tube with a cathode and anode.
4. They travel in straight lines and cause fluorescence when they strike certain materials.
