1. What are cathode rays?
Since atom has a lot of empty space, most of 𝜶 particle were scattered in
small angles and passed straight.
The whole of positive charge was concentrated in a tiny space of about10-14
metre called nucleus.
A few of the𝜶-particles were scattered in the back ward direction.
The energy required to raise the atom from its normal state to an excited
state is called excitation potential energy.
The energy sufficient to knock out an electron from an orbit to outside the
atom is called ionization potential energy.

The dark space appears between the cathode and cathode glow called
Crooke’s dark space.
The cathode rays (electrons) are deflected by electric and a magnetic field
is made use of in this method.
By subjecting a fine beam of cathode rays to the combined action of
crossed electric and magnetic fields e/m can be calculated.

The electron are embedded in the sphere of positive charge is shown in the
figure
In general, the electrons of an atom are located in a symmetrical pattern
with respect to the centre of the sphere.
Spectral radiations are due to simple Harmonic motion of these electrons
on both sides of their mean position.
The stability of the atom was very well explained on the basis of this model.
It could not account for the scattering of 𝜶-particles through large angles.

The vibrating electron should radiate energy and the frequency of the
emitted spectral line should be the same as the electron.
Thomson’s model gives only one spectral line of about 1300A°for H2 atom
But H2 spectrum consists of five different series with several lines in each
series.
An 𝜶particle directed towards the centre of nucleus will move close upto a
distance v0 where its kinetic energy will appear as electrostatic Potential
energy.
After this the𝜶particle begins to retrace its path.
This distance V0is known as the distance of the closest approach.

Continuous X-rays are X-rays which contain all wavelength varying between
min and higher values continuously(infinity)
Pumping: The process by which atoms in the ground state is taken to the
excited state is called pumping.
Optical pumping:
The process by which the atom in the ground state is taken to the excited
state with the help of light is called optical pumping.

In holography, both the phase and amplitude of the light waves are
recorded on the film.
The resulting photograph is called hologram.
