Explanation

Philipp Lenard carried out important experimental studies of cathode rays and received the 1905 Nobel Prize in Physics for that work. Low-pressure electrical discharge tubes were central to this research. He was one of several investigators of discharge phenomena, rather than the sole originator of every observation involving such tubes.
