Give experimental evidences to show that (i) cathode rays travel in straight lines (ii) cathode rays possess kinetic energy (iii) most part of the atom is hollow (iv) the space occupied by the nucleus is much smaller than that by an atom.

Canal rays travel in a straight line.

Light appears to travel in straight lines since

The existence of negatively charged particle in an atom was shown by J.J. Thomson as a result of the studies of the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure known as discharge tube experiments. When a high voltage of the order of 10,000 volts or more was impressed across the electrodes, some sort of invisible rays moved from the negative electrode to the positive electrode these rays are called as cathode rays. Cathode rays travel in straight path in absence of electrical and magnetic field . Cathode rays consist of material part and charged particles? Cathode rays produce X-rays and light is emitted when they strike on ZnS screen. Cathode rays penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and other metals . They affect the photogenic plate and passes heating effect when they strike on metal foil. The raito of charge to mass i.e charge/mass is same for all the cathode rays irrespective of the gas used in the tube. The existence of positively charged particle in an atom was shown be E. Goldstein. He repeated the same discharge tube experiments by using a perforated cathode. It was observed that when a high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also a new type of rays were produced simultaneoulsy from anode moving towards cathode and passes through the holes or canal of the cathode. These termed as canal rays or anode rays. These rays travel in straight lines and consists of positively charged particles. These rays have kinetic energy and produces heating effect also. The e/m ratio of these rays is smaller than that of electrons. Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. These rays produced flashes of light on ZnS screen and can pass throughs thin metal foils. They can produce physical and chemical changes and are capable to produce ionisation in gases. Select the incorrect statement.

Give two evidences which suggest that the rainfall received in the region shown on the map extract is seasonal.

What experimental evidence can be cited to show that the speed of sound is the same for all wavelengths?

A straight line passes through the point (alpha,beta) and this point bisects the portion of the line intercepted between the axes. Show that the equation of the straight line is x/(2alpha)+y/(2beta)=1.

Which is not true with respect to the cathode rays ?

How many of the following statement are true about the cathode rays? (i) Path of travelling is straight from the cathode with a very high velocity as it produces shadow of an object placed in its path (ii) Rays consist of material particle. (iii) They deflect towards negative end of the electrode. (iv) They produce yellow glow when the glass will beyond anode. (v) Cathode rays penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and metals. (vi) They affect the photographic plates (vii) The ratio of charge (e) to mass (m) i.e. charge//mass is same for all cathode rays irrespective of the gas used in the tube. e//m=1.76xx10^(11) Ckg^(-1) (viii) Cathode rays are visible at low voltage.
