  2. Cathode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray

    A beam of cathode rays in a vacuum tube bent into a circle by a magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil.Cathode rays are normally invisible; in this demonstration Teltron tube, enough gas has been left in the tube for the gas atoms to luminesce when struck by the fast-moving electrons.

  3. Crookes tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_tube

    Crookes X-ray tube from around 1910 Another Crookes x-ray tube. The device attached to the neck of the tube (right) is an "osmotic softener". When the voltage applied to a Crookes tube is high enough, around 5,000 volts or greater, [16] it can accelerate the electrons to a high enough velocity to create X-rays when they hit the anode or the glass wall of the tube.

    The first commercially made electronic TV sets with cathode-ray tubes were manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934. [32] [33] In 1947, the cathode-ray tube amusement device, the earliest known interactive electronic game as well as the first to incorporate a cathode-ray tube screen, was created. [34]

    The cathode-ray tube by which J. J. Thomson demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected by a magnetic field, and that their negative charge was not a separate phenomenon While supporters of the aetherial theory accepted the possibility that negatively charged particles are produced in Crookes tubes , [ citation needed ] they believed that ...

    where θ 1 is the angle between the ray and the surface normal in the first medium, θ 2 is the angle between the ray and the surface normal in the second medium and n 1 and n 2 are the indices of refraction, n = 1 in a vacuum and n > 1 in a transparent substance.

    Atoms were thought to be the smallest possible division of matter until 1899 when J. J. Thomson discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays. [ 37 ] : 86 [ 5 ] : 364 A Crookes tube is a sealed glass container in which two electrodes are separated by a vacuum.

    In early 1896, there was a wave of excitement following Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of X-rays on 5 January. During the experiment, Röntgen "found that the Crookes tubes he had been using to study cathode rays emitted a new kind of invisible ray that was capable of penetrating through black paper". [8]
