A metal has a work function of 4.3eV What does it mean ?

Answer»

Solution :It means that if the electrons in the metal are provided with an energy of 4.3 eV from some external source, they will cross over the surface barrier to leave the metal. The lower the woik.FUNCTION of-an emitter, the SMALLER is the temperature required to CAUSE ELECTRON emission. For this REASON, emitters should have low work function.
