Wave eq and photon eq
E=
ㅅ
Photoelectric effect
High energy electromagnetic radiation causes electrons to be emitted.
Gold leaf electroscope
Briefly touching the top plate with a negative electrode from a high-voltage power supply will charge the electroscope. Excess electrons are deposited into the plate and stem. The stem and plate gave the same charge so they repel each other.
Photoelectrons are emitted only if:
the incident radiation is above a certain frequency
If the incident radiation was above the threshold frequency, increasing intensity of the radiation didn’t increase the __ of the electrons but the ______ of electrons
KE
Amount
Hf =
ø + K.E
De Broglie Equation
ㅅ is proportional to 1/p
ㅅ = h/p
Electron Diffraction
Diffracted through ____________ __________
polycrystalline graphite.
