72. The signal intensity detected using this technique arises from a depth d defined by the relation d = λ sin θ, where the electron takeoff angle is θ and the mean free path of the ejected electron is λ. Therefore, for low values in θ, the photoelectron signal is anticipated to arise from the topmost region of the sample.
