A thermionic thermometer is a device that measures temperature by detecting the electrons emitted from a heated surface. It relies on the thermionic emission phenomenon, where electrons are released from a heated cathode and collected at an anode to generate a measurable signal related to the temperature of the cathode.

What is thermionic thermometer?
A thermionic thermometer uses the thermionic emission of electrons from a heated filament to measure temperature. When the temperature increases, the emission of electrons also increases, allowing for a correlation between temperature and electron emission. These thermometers are used in high-temperature applications and can provide fast response times.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Does a incandescent light bulb emit electrons by thermionic emission?
No, incandescent light bulbs do not emit electrons by thermionic emission. Instead, they produce light by heating a filament to such a high temperature that it emits visible light due to incandescence. Thermionic emission typically refers to the emission of electrons from a heated cathode in vacuum tubes or electron guns.
Where does the thermionic emission occur in cathode rays tube?
Thermionic emission occurs at the cathode in a cathode ray tube, which is a vacuum tube that generates electron beams. When the cathode is heated, electrons are emitted and accelerated towards the anode, leading to the generation of cathode rays within the tube.
What is the name of the process by which electrons are released from a hot cathode?
The process you are referring to is called thermionic emission. It occurs when electrons are emitted from a heated cathode due to their increased thermal energy, allowing them to overcome the surface barrier and escape into the surrounding environment.

What is the derivation of Richardson's Equation of Thermionic Emission?
Rechardsons equation
Which device is similar to that of property of field effect transistor?
Thermionic valve
When does Thermionic emission occur during x-ray production?
thermionic emission occurs when the filaments are heated to a certain degree, causing the electrons to boil off and form a space charge or electron cloud.
Does a incandescent light bulb emit electrons by thermionic emission?
No, incandescent light bulbs do not emit electrons by thermionic emission. Instead, they produce light by heating a filament to such a high temperature that it emits visible light due to incandescence. Thermionic emission typically refers to the emission of electrons from a heated cathode in vacuum tubes or electron guns.
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
The principle of heating a filament to obtain a movement of electrons is called?
Thermionic emission
What is meant by thermionic generation?
What is mean by thermionic generation is that electricity is created as a hot electrode will emit electrons onto a cold electrode. Elements like cesium are often used to help bridge the gap and improve the output.
Origin of the word thermometer?
Thermometer
What is the principle underlying the creation of a space charge in the x-ray tube?
Thermionic Emission
