Nicholas Rivas · Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

There are two electrodes in the tube. One is cathode and the anode is anode. behind the anode, there is a coating of fluorescent material on the wall of the tube, so when the electrons strikes to the wall, the wall starts glowing.

Emmett Clarke · Answer 2

Option B

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson, through his famous Cathode ray experiment proved that all atoms contain small negatively charged particles known as electrons. In the experiment, he applied electric voltage across a cathode ray tube. a fluorescent material coating was done on the positive side. When the voltage was applied, the positive side has glowing dots.

Thus, option B is correct.
