WHAT DOES ELECTRON BEAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

electron beam

Cathode ray

Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes. If an evacuated glass tube is equipped with two electrodes and a voltage is applied, the glass opposite of the negative electrode is observed to glow, due to electrons emitted from and travelling perpendicular to the cathode. They were first observed in 1869 by German physicist Johann Hittorf, and were named in 1876 by Eugen Goldstein Kathodenstrahlen, or cathode rays. Electrons were first discovered as the constituents of cathode rays. In 1897 British physicist J. J. Thomson showed the rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle, which was later named the electron. Cathode ray tubes use a focused beam of electrons deflected by electric or magnetic fields to create the image in a classic television set.

Definition of electron beam in the English dictionary

The definition of electron beam in the dictionary is a beam or stream of electrons emitted by a single source that move in the same direction and at the same speed.
