Electronic Emission
Electron emission refers to the ejection of an electron from the surface of matter. This phenomenon can be stimulated by various factors such as temperature elevation, radiation, or applying a strong electric field. There are different types of electron emission, including thermionic emission, field emission, and photoelectric effect.
- Thermionic Emission is the liberation of electrons from an electrode due to its temperature.
- Photoelectric Emission is the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation (such as light) falls on a material surface.
- Field Emission is an emission of electrons from the surface of a conductor into a vacuum under the influence of a strong electric field
Dual Nature of Matter
Dual Nature of Matter states that a matter exhibits both Particle Nature and Wave Nature. It means that when a matter is at rest it behaves like a particle and when it is moving it behaves like wave. Different Experiments have been performed to prove this by the science community.
In this article, we will look into this theory and understand the dual nature of matter. We will also learn the experiments that proved the dual nature of matter.
