c. Johann Hittorf
d. William Crookes
ANS: B
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen
discovered the
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that
discharges emitted from the negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled
in straight lines, produced heat, and resulted in a greenish fluorescence.
William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
streams of charged particles.
