4.1 Cathode-ray oscilloscope (CRO) 4.1.1Thermionic emission
1. A metal surface has many free electrons.The electrons do not have enough kinetic energy to break free.Will keep binding to the surface of metal.
2. Thermionic emission = emission of electrons from a hot metal surface (cathode)
Current passes through tungsten filament (cathode) > hot
Electrons gain kinetic energy > sufficiently high k.e.e- escape (from surface of tungsten filament to surroundings)
Electrons emitted are accelerated towards anode (by the high potential difference between cathode and anode)
Cathode ray = a beam of electrons moving at high speed in a vacuum
Thermionic emission is like evaporation
Thermionic emission EvaporationEnough energy must be absorbed before electrons are emitted from metal surface
Enough energy must be absorbed before water molecules escape from the water surface
Negatively charged electrons are emitted
Neutral whole molecules escape
Demonstration of thermionic emission (using thermionic diode)

Chapter 4 : Electronics
Properties of cathode rays Electrons move fast in a straight line in vacuum Carry momentum and energy (due to moving electrons) Produce fluorescence/bright spot (when strike fluorescent material) Charged negative (deflect towards +ve plate by elec. and mag. field)
Energy change in a cathode ray
When a potential difference V is applied across the cathode and anode in a vacuum tube, electrons emitted have electric potential energy
Electric potential energy = eVe = charge on 1 electron = 1.6 × 10-19 C
Emitted electrons will be accelerated by the potential difference V to the maximum velocity of v, hence
Kinetic energy = 12 mv2
m = mass of an electron = 9.1 × 10-31 kgv = maximum velocity of the electrons
By using principle of conservation of energy,
12 mv2 = eV
Maximum velocity of electron, v = √ 2 eVm
