J. J. Thomson created an apparatus composed of a sealed glass tube with electrodes of different polarities fixed at each end. By passing a high voltage through gas in the sealed tube, he was able to create a cathode ray. What did thompson call the particles that make up a cathode ray?.



Answer :

Thompson called the particles that make up a cathode ray as electrons.

J.J Thompson used cathode ray tubes experiment in the 19th century. The cathode tube experiment led to the discovery of subatomic particles called 'electrons.'

These tubes are called cathode ray tubes because the beam of particles or cathode ray rises at the cathode.

The sealed glass tubes flow from the negatively charged electrode (Cathode) to the positively charged electrode (anode).

In the experiment, J.J Thompson placed oppositely charged electric plates around the electric beam. The cathode beam electrons moved from the anode towards the cathode. This cathode ray was eventually given the formal name "Electrons."
