State two differences between cathode rays and electromagnetic radiations.

Answer:

- Cathode rays have charge but electromagnetic radiations do not have charge.
- Cathode rays are particles and have a mass while electromagnetic radiation are wavy.
- Cathode rays travel at a speed depending on accelerating voltage but electromagnetic radiation travel at a speed of light in a vacuum.
