1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Prove that a single electron can't produce photoelectric effect.

2. Relevant equations

hf = K + W0 Einstein's eq. for the PE


3. The attempt at a solution

Maybe by using the equality of energy of the system before and after a photon collides with the single e-.


Thank you
