Discovery Of Electrons.

By -

   Around 1879, William Crookes observed that when an electric discharge from high potential source is passed through a gas at 0.001 mm pressure of Hg in a discharge tube. the glass wall opposite to the cathode began to glow witha very faint greenish light.

this glow ir fluorescence  is formed due to the bombardment on the glass by certain rays which are emitted from the cathode surface and move towards the anode with tremendous velocity.    this rays is called Cathode  rays.


properties of cathode rays :

  1. they are deflected from their original straight line path by the application of both electric and magnetic fields and the direction of deflection  indicates that they consist of negatively charged particles. 
  2. they  produce a mechanical motion on small and very light paddle wheel when it is placed in the path of cathode rays.this confirms the presence of material particles in cathode rays.
  3. Cathode rays produce X-rays when they strike the surface of  heavy metal like tungsten. 

The properties of cathode rays and their behavior in electric and magnetic fields, prove that the cathode rays are made up of fast moving tiny material particles chaÅ•ged with negative electricity.  these particles are called Electrons.

I Wonder, By Jeannie Kirby [ poem ]

By -
                      I Wonder  I wonder why the grass is green, and why the wind is never seen ? Who taught the birds to build a nest,    And told to trees to take a rest ? O,  When the moon is not quite round, Where can the missing bit be found ? Who lights the stars, when they blow out,    And makes the lightning flash about ? Who paints the rainbow in the sky, And hangs the fluffy clouds so high? Why is it now, do you suppose, That Dad won't tell me , if he knows?                                                by  Jeannie Kirby

https://youtu.be/oLhDYRDdNl0 Alpha rays :- Nature: He nuclei represented as    2 He⁴  or He²+ Mass :    4 a.m.u or  6.642 × 10^ –27 kg Charge : Positive charge of +2 units Penetrating power : Minimum -0.1 mm thick aluminum foil can stop it. Ionising power :   Maximum. Beta rays:- Nature: Stream of electron represented as -1e⁰. Mass :    0.000548597 a.m.u. or 9.1 x 10 - 31 kg Charge : Negative charge of –1 unit. Penetrating power : It is stopped by 5 mm thick Aluminum foil. Ionising power : Less than Alpha but more than Gamma rays. Gamma rays:— Nature : Electromagnetic waves of very short wavelengths. Mass : No mass Charge : 0 Penetrating power : Maximum — even 750 mm thick pb plate cannot stop it. Ionising power : very Low.

Where am I -written by Shoaib Alam

By -
   where am I ?  at this moment we are alive we don't know, when we'll die. it is not a lie ask yourself, where am I ? Truth nothing is perpetual. Nothing is regarded as actual do you know exact value of ã„« ask yourself Where am I ? __________________________________ if you understand that what i am talking about in this poem, actually the meaning behind this poem is that. nothing is permanent here in this world and this universe. although this world is not even permanent.  so be grateful with whatever you have, be thankful to ALLAH that we're still alive.  and must ask your self, must remind yourself that where am i
