To understand this topic, u must understand the following definition:
Themionic emission: - the release of electrons from a heated metal cathode
From the process of thermionic emission, we can produce cathode ray... By the way, what is chathode ray??
Cathode ray defined as a beam of electrons moving at high speed in a vacuum.
This cathode ray concept is widely used in making TV. In SPM, we apply its concept in understanding the uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope.
Before applying CRO, u must understand the properties of the cathode ray itself. Make sure u hafal all those properties such as:
-moving in straight line
-negatively charged
-deflected by electric & magnetic field and etc.
Once u've understood & investigated all the properties..then lets have a look at the structure of the device called CRO:
Like it or not this chapter requires u to hafal all those structure of CRO. Besides that, u need also to memorise their function as they might be asked in the exam.
Then, u must understand the working principle of CRO and how to calculate the voltage + frequency of a waveform.
To calculate the voltage & frequency, u must understand to use 2 important button in CRO, i.e
'Y-Gain' & 'Time base'

About Me
- Cikgu Ahmad
- I am a full time specialist Physics tutor operating in Klang Valley. I've been educating student for more than 10 years. My specialty is to transform student that had failed their physics subject into a better result. Even some of them managed to get an A in their final exam, You can read their testimony in this blog. I provide home tuition for physics subject to those living nearby KL especially around W.Maju, Ampang,Melawati and Setiawangsa. At the same time i 'm giving online tuition to all malaysia & overseas student. For tuition centre looking for a physics tutor, i'm also able to give seminar and conduct weekly classes. Meanwhile,for school teachers who are organising physics seminar, i am happy to assist u in that aspect. If u have enquiry on my service, do contact or whatsap me at 017-2877589 or email me at celikfizik @ gmail . com

Sir, do you think this properties of Cathode rays is enough?..
--> Travels in straight line and cast sharp shadows.
--> consists of negatively charged particles..
--> deflected by magnetics field and electric fields..
--> travels with high speed hence posses kinteic energy..
--> produce x-rays..
anyway.. what is the difference between magnetics and electric fields?
teacher,
I have one more question..
In deflection system..
How to determine if it is a Y-Plates or X-plates deflection?..
I'm really unclear with this..
yup, make sure u hafal all those prop.
y-plate deflects the elect vertically,
while x-plate deflects it horizontally
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
