  • Question
  • Which one of the following statements is not correct?


  • Options
  • A. The cathode rays originate from cathode and proceed towards the anode in a cathode-ray discharge tube.
  • B. The television picture tubes are nothing but cathode ray tubes.
  • C. The cathode rays themselves are not visible.
  • D. The characteristics of cathode rays depend upon the nature of the gas present in the cathode-ray tube.

  • Correct Answer
  • The   characteristics   of   cathode   rays depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  gas present in the cathode-ray tube. 

    Explanation

    Cathode ray is a beam of electrons emitted   from   the   cathode   of   a vacuum    tube.    It    is    invisible. Cathode  ray  tubes  are  also  found in     televisions     and     computer monitors.  Since  cathode  ray  is  a beam of electrons and all electrons are  identical,  charge  to  mass  ratio is same for all the gases and does not depend on the nature of gas.
