Photoelectric effect
PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Speed of light (c) = 3x108 ms-1 Planck’s constant (h) = 6.63 x 10-34 Js
Mass of an electron = 9x10-31 kg
1. What is the photoelectric effect?
2. What property must the incoming radiation have to cause photoelectric emission from a surface?
3. What property of the incoming radiation determines the energy of the emitted photoelectrons?
4. What property of the incoming radiation determines the number of photoelectrons emitted per second?
5. Radiation of wavelength 120 nm falls on a zinc plate. The threshold wavelength for this surface is 200 nm.
(a) what is the energy of a quantum of the incident radiation
(b) what is the energy required to give photoelectric emission
(c) what is the energy of the emitted photoelectrons?
6. Give two uses of the photoelectric effect
7. When radiation causes photoelectric emission the electron emission is instantaneous - it occurs immediately radiation falls on the surface. What does this tell you about the incident radiation?
8. (a) Describe carefully what is meant by the stopping potential.
(b) what would the stopping potential need to be for the photoelectrons that are emitted in question 5?
9. How many photons are emitted per second from a 50 W sodium lamp of wavelength 580 nm.
10. Where do the electrons come from that are emitted in photoelectric emission?
