mahela007 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I just don't understand what anode rays are, how they are made or where they come from.. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The Wikipedia article is a stub and many others simply state that anode rays "occur". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_for_short Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 How can we reply to your question if the Wikipedia article is a stub and no other information is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 by using knowledge outside wikipedia. anode rays are protons(although other positively charged ions could be used) the anode provides the ionization and the ions are accelerated towards the cathode electrostatically as in a cathode ray tube. basically, you reverse the polarity of a CRT and replace the electrons with protons. also, the antimatter counterpart of a CRT would also be classed as an ART as positrons carry a positive charge.

swansont Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Right. Cathodes give you negative charges. Anodes will give you positive ones. It's a lot easier to free up electrons, which is probably why there isn't much discussion on ARTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
