Which outcome results when electron energy overcomes the work function?

💡 Explanation

Above the work function threshold, incident electrons cause secondary electron emission because of the mechanism of kinetic excitation of other electrons. Therefore a surge occurs, rather than alpha decay or band shifts, which involve differing particle interactions or energy considerations.
