Solution
Electron emission from the metal surface can be (any two):
1) Thermionic emission – when energy is supplied as heat
2) Photoelectric emission – when energy is supplied as energy.
3) Field emission – when energy is supplied by applying an electric field to accelerate the electrons.
4) Secondary emission – when energy is supplied from the kinetic energy of other electrons on collisions with them.
