Which consequence results when electron saturation occurs in a photomultiplier tube?

💡 Explanation

When an electron cascade saturates the anode of a photomultiplier tube, space charge builds up, limiting further electron multiplication via space charge effect. This decreases the signal-to-noise ratio, because the signal plateaus while noise remains, rather than increasing the opposite.
