1 Jan 1896 Jahr - J.J. Thomson

Beschreibung:

J. J. Thomson discovered electrons. J. J. Thomson performed experiments demonstrating that cathode rays were unique particles, rather than waves, atoms or molecules, as was believed earlier. Thomson made good estimates of both the charge e and the mass m, finding that cathode ray particles (which he called “corpuscles”) had perhaps one thousandth the mass of hydrogen, the least massive ion known. He showed that their charge to mass ratio (e/m) was independent of cathode material.
