Question 1 Report

Thermionic emission is the process whereby
Answer Details
Thermionic emission is the process whereby electrons leave a hot element. When an element is heated to a high temperature, some of its electrons gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them to the atoms and escape from the surface of the element. This process is called thermionic emission. The emitted electrons can be used in a variety of applications, such as in vacuum tubes and electron microscopes. The other options in the question are not related to thermionic emission.
