Dual Nature of Radiation and matter Flashcards
Variation of photocurrent with intensity graph
directly prop
Variation of photocurrent with potential graph
increases from -ve x axis and reaches saturation point
Collector plate is
+ve with respect to ammeter
-ve with respect to ammeter
With increase in -ve potential, photoelectric current
decreases until it reaches 0
Stopping potential/cut off potential
Minimum -ve potential Vo for which photocurrent becomes 0
K(max)
eVo
Stopping potential is independant of
intensity
Stopping potential is dependant on
Frequency of incident radiation, material of emitter plate
Photocurrent with stopping potential graph
increases from -ve x axis(Vo) for 3 intensities and reaches saturation point
Variation of photocurrent with frequency graph
3 -ve stopping potentials increasing and reaching a common saturation point
Photocurrent is independant of
frequency
Stopping potential with frequency graph
Increases from a dist on x axis
Threshold freq varies with
metals
When hν > Φo
photoelectic effect occurs
hν =
Φo + K(max)
