Question 14 • Chemistry

What did J. J. Thomson observe when he applied electric voltage to a cathode ray tube in his famous experiment?

Answer
A
The electric voltage had little effect on the stream of particles.
B
The tube contained two pieces of metal that served as electrodes.
C
The stream of cathode ray particles was moving very slowly.
D
The glass opposite of the negative electrode started to glow.

Explanation

The cathode ray traveled from the negative electrode toward the opposite end of the tube, where it made the glass glow. This glowing spot showed where the ray struck the glass. Therefore, the correct choice is “The glass opposite of the negative electrode started to glow.”
