MCQ
Identify the process in which an electron escapes from the metal surface.
- ✓Electron emission
- BElectron displacement
- CElectron transgression
- DElectron movement
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Electron emission
The process in which an electron escapes from the metal surface is known as electron emission. Electrons are loosely bound to the nucleus, and therefore, a little energy push sets these electrons flying out of their respective orbits.
