object is formed on the screen.
2. They are charged. Hence they are deflected by both magnetic and electric fields.
3. They posses kinetic energy.
4. They can cause certain substances e.g zinc sulphide screen to glow or fluoresce.
5. They can produce X-rays when they are suddenly stopped by a metal target.
