Modern Physics 2

The photoelectric effect only occurs if the light shining on the metal is:

• coherent.
• above a minimum intensity.
• above a minimum frequency.
• above a minimum wavelength.

The graph shows maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons against frequency of incident light for a number of different metals.

Plank's constant is determined by:

• the x-intercept.

• the y-intercept.

• the slope

• the area under the graph.

The graph shows maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons against frequency of incident light for a number of different metals.
The threshold frequency is determined by:

• the x-intercept.
• the y-intercept.
• the gradient.
• the area under the graph.

The photoelectric effect is when:

• Electrons collide inside a metal to release photons.
• One incident metal electron releases one photon.
• One incident photon releases one electron from a metal.
• Photons are absorbed in to metal ions releasing electrons.
