Imagine that it is 1895 and you are experimenting with mysterious rays known as cathode rays. These rays were discovered almost 40 years earlier, but in 1895 no one knows that they are composed of electrons. To produce the rays, Figure 1 An early cathode-ray tube is shown on the left. A you pump the air out of a sealed glass tube, which creates television picture tube, on the a vacuum. An early version of this type of tube is shown in right, is a form of the same Figure 1. You then connect rods inside the tube to an cathode-ray tube. electrical source. Electric charges flow through the empty space between the rods and produce the rays.
