PHYSICS FORM FOUR TOPIC 4: THERMIONIC EMISSION
Thermionic Emission Thermionic emission is the 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. Edison as a passage of electricity from…
