- 8. Multiple Choice
Why is a vacuum needed in the tube?
It makes the process more efficient.
It impedes or slows down the electrons.
It allows the electrons to flow unimpeded.
It allows the electrons to be made into a beam.
- 9. Multiple Choice
How are the electrons made into a beam?
Using a high voltage across the tube.
Use of an anode to spread the electrons.
Use of positive anode to focus the electrons.
Use of a fluorescent coating at the end of the tube.
- 10. Multiple Choice
How is the electron beam detected?
Use of a fluorescent screen.
By deflecting the beam of electrons with a magnetic field.
By deflecting the beam of electrons with an electric field.
Using an electron microscope.
- 11. Multiple Choice

electron bounces back
nothing happens
emit light
produce current
- 12. Multiple Choice
how to increase the rate of thermionic emission
immerse metal in an electrolyte
increase the surrounding pressure
decrease the temperature of metal to stabilize electron
increase the surface area of the metal
- 13. Multiple Choice
what happen to the electron when when it is emitted from the cathode or metal?
move around the cathode
attract toward the anode
attract toward the cathode
goes back to cathode to form equilibrium state
- 14. Multiple Choice
what can be used to control the direction of the cathode ray
electrical field
gravitational field
heat energy
quantum field
- 15. Multiple Choice
what is the purpose of connecting anode with high voltage d.c power supply
to deflect or change the direction of the electron
to accelerate the electron
to deceleration the electron
to increase the rate of thermionic emission
