the kinetic energy gained by an electron in
accelerating through a potential difference V.
whereE is the
energy of a photon, h is Planck’s constant and f is the
frequency of the photon.
whereE is the
energy of a photon, h is Planck’s constant and is
the wavelength of the photon.
where is
the work function (the minimum energy required to just free an electron
from a metal), h is Planck’s constant and is
the minimum frequency of light which will liberate an electron from a
metal.
wherehf is the energy of
an incident photon, is the work function of a
metal and is the maximum kinetic
energy of the resulting photo-electron.
