Which one of the following statements is not true for cathode rays?
-
- Cathode rays produce heat when incident on metals
- Cathode rays travel in a straight line
- Cathode rays do not deflect in electric field
- Cathode rays produce fluorescence when they fall on certain meterials
Correct Option: C
Cathode rays are negatively charged rays. Hence, when electric field is applied to them, then they deflect in direction opposite to electric field.
