Properties of canal rays
Goldstein (1886) used perforated cathode in
the discharge tube and repeated Thomson's experiment and observed the
formation of anode rays. These rays also termed as positive or canal rays.
Anode rays travel in straight
line.
Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. It is maximum when gas present in the tube is hydrogen
These rays produce flashes of light on ZnS screen.
