Question:

Which of the following statements are correct about canal rays?
• [(i)] They carry positively charged particles.
• [(ii)] The mass of the particles of these rays does not depend upon the gas present in the cathode ray tube.
• [(iii)] The particles behave in a different manner in electric field as those of cathode rays.
• [(iv)] The charge to mass ratio of the particles does not depends on the gas present in the cathode ray tube.

Show Hint

Canal rays depend on the gas used, unlike cathode rays.

The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Canal rays (anode rays) consist of positively charged ions.

Step 1:
Check statements.

• (i) True → positively charged particles
• (ii) False → mass depends on gas used
• (iii) True → behavior differs from cathode rays
• (iv) False → \( \frac{e}{m} \) depends on gas

Step 2:
Select correct combination.
\[ (i) \text{ and } (iii) \]
