Hi,
I'm curious about J.J thomsons Catode ray, and i have a few questions:
In J.J. Thomsons Catode ray setup he has hydrogen gas in a chamber through which the catode ray is beamed. What is the role of hydrogen gas? What could he use the hydrogen gas for?
And how could he make up the assumption that The distance the electron is deflected when charging the metal plates in the catode ray tube, is proportional to the charge of the electron and inversly proportional to the mass of the particle?
I'm watching the MIT lecture, and I was just very curious about this :)
