Question
State two factors upon which the rate of emission of thermions depends.
Solution
Factors on which the rate of emission of thermions depends:
1) Nature of the metal surface: Lower the work function of the metal, greater is the rate of emission of electrons.
2) The temperature of the surface: Higher the temperature of the surface, greater is the rate of emission of electrons.
