Explain the difference between cathode ray and beta ray?..

Answer / Akhalesh Kumar

Cathode rays are a beam of negatively charged particles, primarily electrons, that are emitted when a metal is heated in a vacuum. Beta rays are high-energy particles emitted during radioactive decay, primarily beta minus particles which are also electrons. The main difference is that cathode rays are artificially produced, while beta rays occur naturally.
