← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from exceeding photomultiplier tube anode voltage?
A)Increased electron space charge generation✓
B)Reduced dynode secondary emission rate
C)Decreased light signal amplification
D)Improved signal-to-noise photon detection
💡 Explanation
Increased anode voltage strengthens the electric field, accelerating more electrons; this causes increased electron space charge near the anode because the electron current becomes too high which saturates the space. Therefore, a buildup occurs near the anode, rather than efficient electron collection.
