Cathode Rays, Thomson's Experiment & Gas Discharge
In a discharge tube ionization of enclosed gas is produced due to collisions between
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Fast electrons (from the cathode) gain energy from the field between the electrodes.
- When they strike neutral gas atoms/molecules they knock out electrons, ionising the gas.
- So the answer is (c) negative electrons and neutral atoms/molecules.
