  2. Cathode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray

    Cathode rays are now usually called electron beams. The technology of manipulating electron beams pioneered in these early tubes was applied practically in the design of vacuum tubes, particularly in the invention of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) by Ferdinand Braun in 1897, which was used in television sets and oscilloscopes.

  3. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, ...

  4. Cathode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode

    In chemistry, a cathode is the electrode of an electrochemical cell at which reduction occurs. The cathode can be negative like when the cell is electrolytic (where electrical energy provided to the cell is being used for decomposing chemical compounds); or positive as when the cell is galvanic (where chemical reactions are used for generating ...

  5. J. J. Thomson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._J._Thomson

    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 ...

  6. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    Spectra of constituent blue, green and red phosphors in a common cathode-ray tube. Cathode-ray tubes produce signal-generated light patterns in a (typically) round or rectangular format. Bulky CRTs were used in the black-and-white television (TV) sets that became popular in the 1950s, developed into color CRTs in the late 1960s, and used in ...

  7. Mass-to-charge ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  8. Anode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode_ray

    Anode ray tube showing the rays passing through the perforated cathode and causing the pink glow above it. Anode ray tube, turned-off condition An anode ray (also positive ray or canal ray ) is a beam of positive ions that is created by certain types of gas-discharge tubes .

  9. Barium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_oxide

    Barium oxide is used as a coating for hot cathodes, for example, those in cathode-ray tubes. It replaced lead(II) oxide in the production of certain kinds of glass such as optical crown glass. While lead oxide raised the refractive index, it also raised the dispersive power, which barium oxide does not alter. [2]
