Particle nature of cathode rays is proved due to the fact that they ________________?

Correct answer: B. Get deflected by magnetic electric field

  • A. Travel in a straight line
  • B. Get deflected by magnetic electric field
  • C. Produce fluorescence
  • D. Heat the exposed material

Explanation

Deflection by electric or magnetic fields shows that cathode rays carry charged particles, proving their particle nature. Straight-line travel, fluorescence and heating are effects that do not by themselves establish charge or particulate character.
