(b) Figure 1 shows the cathode ray tube of an oscilloscope. The details of how the beam of
electrons is produced are not shown.
The electron beam passes between two horizontal metal plates and goes on to strike a
fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. The plates are 0.040 m long and are separated by a
gap of 0.015 m. A potential difference of 270V is maintained between the plates.
An individual electron takes 1.5 109 s to pass between the plates. The distance between
the right-hand edge of the plates and the fluorescent screen is 0.20 m.
