Discovery of Roentgen about cathode-ray beam striking a glass surface.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:Roentgen discovers the emission of new kind of rays (X-ray).
Explanation of Solution
In year 1895, when German scientist Rontgen passes the cathode ray beam striking a glass surface, he found an unknown wave that could penetrate the solid materials, and could ionize the air. The ray showed no refraction in glass, and does not deflect in the presence of magnetic fields.
Rontgen names this high frequency
Conclusion:
When a cathode ray beam strikes a glass, then Rontgen discovered a new kind or ray termed as X-ray.
