  • question_answer
    Thermionic emission from a heated filament varies with its temperature T as   [CBSE PMT 1990; RPMT 2000; CPMT 2002]

    A)            \[{{T}^{-1}}\]                        

    B)            \[T\]

    C)            \[{{T}^{2}}\]                         

    D)            \[{{T}^{3/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                 According to Richardson-Dushman equation, number of thermions emitted per sec per unit area \[J=A{{T}^{2}}{{e}^{-{{W}_{0}}/kT}}\] Þ \[J\propto {{T}^{2}}\]
