The speed of light is ~3*10^8 m/s and

In general....

The speed of electrons through free space is affected by their energy, therefore their voltage.

A CRT where the high voltage is about 30 kv will have the
electrons traveling something like about 0.30 (About 1/3) the speed of light.

The greater the high voltage the faster the electrons will travel.
