Explain thermionic emission, field emission and photoelectric emission. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) Thermionic EMISSION : It can be caused by supplying the minimum required energy by heating the METAL surface to a suitable temperature. (ii) Field emission : It can be caused by applying an electric field to the metal surface of the ORDER of `10^(8)Vm^(-1).` (iii) Photelectric emission : It can be caused by applying the minimum required energy by illuminating the metal surface with light of suitable frequency. |
