Ans : Properties of Positive(Anode) Rays :
(1) Path :
These rays also travel in straight lines from anode to cathode.
(2) Material Particles :
They cause a light paddle wheel to rotate (revolve) showing that they are material particles.
(3) Glow :
These rays although invisible cause some material to glow.
(4) Deflection :
These rays are deflected towards the negative plate when passed through an electric field showing that these rays carry a positive charge.
(5) Charge to Mass Ratio :
The charge / mass (e/m) ratio of positive particles is much smaller than that of electrons & it varies with the nature of gas in the tube.
(6) Kinetic Energy :
They produce mechanical pressure indicating they possess kinetic energy.
