Who discovered the electron through the Cathode ray discharge tube experiment?

J.J. Thomson

What happens when the pressure inside the cathode ray tube is reduced to 0.01 mm Hg?

The tube begins to glow

What is the name given to the rays that start from the cathode and move away from it in straight lines?

Cathode rays

What material is used to coat the tube behind the anode to check the cathode rays?

Zinc sulphide

1 mm Hg

What happens when a very high voltage (about 10,000 volts) is applied between the two electrodes at normal pressure?

No electric discharge occurs

What can be observed with the help of fluorescent or phosphorescent materials?

Cathode rays

What happens to the cathode rays in the presence of an electric or magnetic field?
