Detailed Solution

The rays that consist of a stream of fast-moving positively charged particles known as protons are called anode rays. The characteristics of these anode rays are as follows:

  • Anode rays travel in a straight line.
  • They get deflected from their path by electric and magnetic fields in a direction opposite to the cathode rays.
  • They can penetrate through thin metal foils and can ionize gases.
  • The charge-to-mass ratio of these rays is very low.

So the incorrect property is - The charge-to-mass ratio of anode rays is high.
