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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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