Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. Which one of the following statements is not true for cathode rays?
    1. Cathode rays produce heat when incident on metals ​
    2. Cathode rays travel in a straight line
    3. ​Cathode rays do not deflect in electric field ​
    4. 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.
