Thermionic emission is the emission of electrons from a heated metal (cathode). ... As the temperature increases, the surface electrons gain energy. The energy acquired by the surface electrons allows them to move a short distance off the surface thus resulting in emission.
What factors affect thermionic emission?
Thermionic emission depends on three factors, temperature of the metal surface, area of the metal surface and last but not the least the work function of the metal.
What is the source of thermionic emission?
Thermionic emission, discharge of electrons from heated materials, widely used as a source of electrons in conventional electron tubes (e.g., television picture tubes) in the fields of electronics and communications. The phenomenon was first observed (1883) by Thomas A.
