photoelectric effect photons

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 ..

When electromagnetic radiation strikes on the surface of alkali metals, they emit electrons. This is called the photoelectric effect. This occurs as alkali metals have low ionization energies, which allows the electrons to be easily ejected when exposed to light. Among alkali m..

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter..

Particle Nature of Light - 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 ..

>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 amount of ene..

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..

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..
