Q

Explain the photoelectric effect.

A

Light is shined on a metal surface, where this surface absorbs the photon and its energy is transferred to an electron. Some of the energy is used to overcome the binding energy, and the rest of the energy becomes kinetic energy of the ejected electron.

Q

Absorption and emission spectra: energy level diagram explanation

A

As photons are absorbed, it goes from the ground state to the excited state (jumps up levels).
As photons are emitted, it goes from the excited state to the ground state (goes down levels), generating heat loss.
