Beam deflection tube
A beam deflection tube is a tube that can change the path of a beam of light or electrons. Imagine you are playing mini golf and you need to hit the ball around a corner. You can use a putter to change the direction of your ball. The beam deflection tube does the same thing but with light or electrons.
The tube has a special part called electrodes that can produce an electric field. This electric field can attract or repel the light or electrons passing through the tube. It's like a magnet that can move metal objects.
When the electric field is turned on, it pulls the beam of light or electrons to one side or another, so it changes direction. This is how the tube can make the light or electrons go where they need to go. It's like a traffic signal that tells cars where to go.
Beam deflection tubes are used in things like televisions and computer monitors because they can control the direction of the light that creates the picture you see on the screen. The tube can make sure the light goes where it needs to go to form the image you see. It's like a puzzle where you put all the pieces in the right place to make a picture. The beam deflection tube helps put the pieces in the right place.
