In photoelectric effect when photons of energy hv fall on a photosensitive surface (work function hv^) electrons are emitted from the metallic surface with a kinetic energy. It is possible to say that:

When a high frequency electromagnetic radiation is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the surface. Energy of emitted photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of incident electromagnetic radiation and the number of emitted electrons depends only on the intensity of incident light. Einstein's protoelectron equation [K_(max)=hv-phi} correctly ecplains the PE, where upsilon= frequency of incident light and phi= work function. Q. The slope of the graph shown if Fig. [here h is the Planck's constant and e is the charge of an electron] is

How the kinetic energy of ejected electrons depends on the intensity of light ?

When orange light falls on a photo sensitive surface the photocurrent begins to flow. The velocity of emitted electrons will be more whwn surface is hit by

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hv-phi) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron (where phi is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tuve. Wavelength of charasteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. Q. If potential difference across the tube is increased then
