Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The filament functions to:
A
release photons.
B
release electrons.
C
convert electrons into photons
D
convert photons into electrons.
E
None of the above answers is correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heating of the filament leads to the release of electrons in a process called thermionic emission. The released electrons form in an electron cloud at the filament surface, and repulsion forces prevent the ejection of electrons from this negatively charged cloud.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function that filament performs is to carry nutrients to the anther for the development of the anther and pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Actin is a highly abundant intracellular protein present in all eukaryotic cells and has a pivotal role in muscle contraction as well as in cell movements. Actin also has an essential function in maintaining and controlling cell shape and architecture.

Detailed explanation-4: -As it is heated up the increased energy enables electrons to be released from the filament through thermionic emission. The electrons are attracted towards the positively charged anode and hit the tungsten target with a maximum energy determined by the tube potential (voltage).
