Question

rate of emission on which the rate of thermions depend

Answer 1

The rate of thermionic emissions of electrons from a surface depends on the following factors...

(1) Nature of the metal surface: lower the work function of the metal, greater is the rate of emission of electrons from its surface.

(2)The temperature of the surface:Higher the temperature of the surface, greater is the rate of emission of electrons from the surface.
