Why are cathode rays always considered to be consist of fundamental common particles called electrons?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is because all the electrons posses same `(e )/(m )` ratio irrespective of the gas in the discharge tube or the nature of electrons . This that the cathode rays do not of gaseous charged atoms otherwise `(e )/(m )` ratio would have been for differnt for different taken .
