The basic electronic emission occurs when heat, sunlight, electron collision, electromagnetic field and surface bombardment are used to release electron from the metal surface to the vacuum tube. <h2><strong>Electronic Emission </strong></h2> The electronic emission is the process of liberating or emitting free electrons from the metal surface to the vacuum tubes. A vacuum tube is an empty tube in which the air has been completely removed for the purpose of storing liquefied gas. <h2><strong>Methods of Emission</strong></h2> There are four principal methods of liberating electron from the surface of metal. They are
