Question
Find the wrong statement.

Answer

  1. Thermionic emissions and photoelectric emissions are the same.
Explanation:
No, thermionic emissions and photoelectric emissions are not the same. During thermionic emissions, the electrons are emitted from the metal surface by providing heat energy, whereas, during photoelectric emission light energy is emitted when electrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. So, it is the opposite in operation.
