einstein on photoelectric effect

The Photoelectric Effect - There are three ways in which electrons eject out of a material. They are (i) Thermionic emission (ii) Field emission (iii) Photo electric emission In all the above cases, energy is given to the material but in different forms. If given in the form of ..

There are three ways in which electrons eject out of a material. They are (i) Thermionic emission (ii) Field emission (iii) Photo electric emission In all the above cases, energy is given to the material but in different forms. If given in the form of heat it is called as Thermionic emission, if in..

>This is called as dual nature of mater. The radiation has a dual aspect behaving either as waves or as particles (waves when it interferes, diffracts and particles in a photocell). Einstein showed that a particle having a finite mass has been supposed to be associated with a definite amo..

The phenomenon of interference, diffraction and polarization can be explained by the wave theory of light. But the photo electric effect can be explained only using 'photon theory'. That is using particle nature of light. The experimental study of photoelectric effe..

The Photoelectric Effect - When light of sufficiently small wavelength is incident on a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the metal. This phenomenon is called as 'photoelectric effect' and the ejected electrons are called as 'photoelectrons..

According to wave theory when light falls on a metal surface, energy is continuously distributed over the surface. All the free electrons receive light energy and when the energy received exceeds that of work function, an electron may escape the surface. If we user a low intensity source, it may ta..
