Physics

with regards to the Frank-Hertz experiment, How would increasingthe temperature affect a graph of current vs accelerating voltage?Would there be a higher or lower background current? Sharper orless sharp peaks?
instinctually I want to say the increased temperature would leadto increased electron emissions and thereby current in the graphbut im not sure what it would do to the peaks, im thinking it willmake the slopes more gradual as there are more electrons andchances for them to make it through but I could also see that itwould increase the chances of collisions and make the slopessharper. either way could use some help.

When the tube temperature is increased it has nothing to do with the number of electron emission Now when the temperature of the tube increases two things happen 1 The peaks fall sharply See Answer
