In CRO, when beam of electrons falls on a screen, it makes a visible spot because the screen is:

Correct answer: B. Fluorescent

  • A. Rough
  • B. Fluorescent
  • C. Polished
  • D. Clear

Explanation

The screen of a CRO is coated with a fluorescent material that emits light when struck by electrons. When the electron beam falls on the fluorescent screen, it causes the screen to fluoresce, producing a visible spot. The intensity of the spot depends on the energy of the electrons and the characteristics of the fluorescent material.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
