Part 6
1. Set the cathode metal to copper and light intensity to 50 %.
2. Tabulate eight values for frequency and photoelectron energy in Joule.
3. Draw a graph of frequency and...
Homework Statement
8. Below is a graph of electron energy v light frequency for platinum. Record and identify the following on the graph.
• The threshold frequency.
• The range of frequencies that give an electron a kinetic energy greater than zero.
• The range of frequencies that...
Homework Statement
"What is the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency"
then
"Qualitively graph photonic energy versus frequency. No values are required. The Slope does not need to be specific."
Homework Equations
we are given a graph with no values...
Forgot to include my work so far, please assist me if this is correct so far, thanks
1)The energy of a photon is a function of the frequency of the photon
Energy = (Planck's constant * Speed of Light) / wavelength = Planck's Constant * Frequency
If energy is large enough it will knock...
What determines if the photoelectric effect occurs?
There are several aspects on this topic that I don't really understand such as:
- What is the relationship between the frequency of the incident photon, threshold frequency and the ejection of electrons?
- What is the relationship...
