Is How to Join Table Valued Function with Table?

For Ex

1. Create table Emp as
   

   CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Emp](
   [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
   [Name] [varchar](50) NULL,
   [City] [varchar](50) NULL,
   CONSTRAINT [PK_Emp] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
   (
   [ID] ASC
   )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
   ) ON [PRIMARY]
   GO

   And Insert Record into Emp table as
   
   
   
   
2. Create Table value function as
   

   GO
   -- =============================================
   -- Author: <Author:- Vishvajeet>
   -- Create date: <Create:- 23/11/2014>
   -- Description: <Description:- Fn_Select Employee Salary>
   -- =============================================
   Create FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_Salary]
   (
   @id Int
   )
   RETURNS TABLE
   AS
   RETURN
   (
   SELECT Salary from Salary where ID=@id
   )

   Then we can join these table value function and table with in the help of "Cross Apply" as
   

   select e.ID,e.Name,e.City,x.Salary from Emp e left join
   (
   select ID,Name,Salary from Emp cross apply [dbo].fn_Salary(ID)
   )x on x.ID=e.ID

And show Result as
