In the photoelectric effect experiment, a beam of light is shining on a metal surface and the electrons are emitted from the metal. One of the three key findings is that a minimum frequency of light is required for emission of electrons. This minimum frequency is found to be 5.5 × 1014 s-1 for an unknown metal. 4 Briefly describe the other two findings and draw a plot fo the KE of emitted electrons against light frequency. (a) (6 marks)...

Photoelectric effect in magnetic field. A small metallic ball is suspended at the center of a cylindrical glass vessel of radius R. A monochromatic light of frequency f illuminates the surface of the ball, and the photo-electrons are being emitted. The inside of the vessel is in high vacuum, and the inner wall of the side of the cylinder is coated with phosphorus, so that it glows when the photo-electrons are able to reach it. a) Under these conditions, what...
Problem (8 points) For the Photoelectric Effect experiment shown, when ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 240 nm shines on a particular metal plate, electrons are emitted from plate 1, crossing the gap to plate 2 and causing a current to flow through the wire connecting the two plates. The battery voltage is gradually increased until the current in the ammeter drops to zero, at which point the battery voltage is 1.40 V plate 2 AV incident ◇e electrons Tammeter...
According to Einstein's photoelectric effect, as long as the threshold frequency was met, brighter intensity light would increase the current of the cell. What was his reasoning for this? Brighter light contains more photons, all of which have enough energy to eject an electron from a given atom. Brighter light contains photons of higher mass that can hit electrons with more force, knocking them away from their atoms. Brighter light contains waves of larger amplitude which can hit more than...
