(N/A) cathode ray discharge tube is a glass tube used to study electrical discharge in gases at low pressures.
Construction:
$1$. It consists of a sealed glass tube containing two thin metal electrodes.
$2$. The tube is connected to a vacuum pump to maintain very low pressure inside.
$3$. $A$ high voltage source is connected across the electrodes.
Uses:
$1$. It is used to generate cathode rays by passing high voltage electricity through gases at very low pressure.
$2$. It helps in studying the properties of electrons and the nature of electrical discharge in gases.

The volume of an atom is $10^5$ times the volume of its nucleus. If we consider the ratio of the radius of an atom to the radius of its nucleus,it is approximately $10^5$. Since volume $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$,the ratio of volumes is $(\frac{r_{atom}}{r_{nucleus}})^3 = (10^5)^3 = 10^{15}$. Therefore,the volume of an atom is $10^{15}$ times the volume of the nucleus. Choose the correct factor.
