Correct answer: A. Canal rays

  • A. Canal rays
  • B. Magnetic rays
  • C. Quantum
  • D. Photon rays

Explanation

Positive rays, also known as canal rays, are streams of positively charged particles, typically ions or cations, that are produced when a high voltage is applied to a gas-filled tube. They were first observed by Eugen Goldstein in 1886 and are also known as canal rays because they pass through the cathode's canal-like structure

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
