The process of emission of electrons from hot metal surface is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of emission of electrons from hot metal surface is called
A. Thermionic emission
B. Field emission
C. Secondary emission
D. Photoelectric emission
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Thermionic emission: electrons emitted when metal heated to high temperature (e.g., filament in cathode ray tube). Photoelectric: light incident. Field emission: strong electric field. Secondary: bombardment by particles.

A pendulum has time period 2 s. If its length is increased by 4 times, new period is
A. 8 s
B. 1 s
C. 2 s
D. 4 s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
T ∝ √L, L'=4L => T' = √4 T = 2×2 = 4 s.

Question #3 Report Error
Diffraction limits resolution because:
A. Lenses absorb light
B. Light bends around edges, blurring images
C. Mirrors reflect poorly
D. Atmosphere distorts

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Diffraction spreads light through apertures, creating Airy patterns instead of points. Fundamental limit: θ_min ≈ 1.22λ/D (Rayleigh criterion). Memory tip: 'Diffraction limit: smaller λ or larger aperture ⇒ better resolution'. Wave optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
