Cathode Rays Unleashed: Discovering Their Properties

The video tutorial explains the properties of cathode rays through various experiments. Cathode rays travel in straight lines, as demonstrated by the shadow of a metal object. They are negatively charged, shown by their deflection towards positively charged plates in an electric field and their behavior in a magnetic field. The fluorescence observed when cathode rays pass through a perforated anode further supports their properties. The particle nature of cathode rays is confirmed by the rotation of a paddle wheel, indicating they have mass and momentum. Overall, cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles.
