Example types with phototube
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Electron multipliers A photomultiplier is a phototube whose sensitivity is greatly increased through the use of electron multiplication. (18 words)
For example, the yield of a phototube is measured in phe/keVee ( photoelectrons per keV electron-equivalent energy). (18 words)
His experiment directly measured potentials, not electron kinetic energy: he found the electron energy by relating it to the maximum stopping potential (voltage) in a phototube. (26 words)
For example, an increase in frequency results in an increase in the maximum kinetic energy calculated for an electron upon liberation – ultraviolet radiation would require a higher applied stopping potential to stop current in a phototube than blue light. (39 words)
