Give the definition of photoelectric threshold frequency and stopping, potential. Draw the variation of stopping potential vs. incident frequency

Find the photoelectric threshold frequency of a metal is 6525 Å . What will be the stopping potential if the metal is irradiated with light of wavelength 4000 Å ?

Statement I: The stopping potential becomes double when the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled Statement II: Work function of the metal and the threshold frequency of photoelectric effect are proportional to each other.

When light of frequency v_(1) is incident on a metal with work function W (where hv_(1) gt W ) the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of V_(1) . If the frequency of light is increased to v_(2) , the stopping potential changes to V_(2) . Therefore the charge of an electron is given by

how are frequency and wave number of electromagnetic radiation related to each other?

Einstein established the idea of photons on the basis of Planck's quantum theory. According to his idea, the light of frequency f or wavelength lamda is infact a stream of photons. The rest mass of each photon is zero and velocity is equal to the velocity of light (c) = 3 xx 10^(8) m.s^(-1) . Energy, E = hf, where h = Planck's constant = 6.625 xx 10^(-34)J.s . Each photon has a momentum p = (hf)/(c) , although its rest mass is zero. The number of photons increase when the intensity of incident light increases and vice-versa. On the other hand, according to de Broglie any stream of moving particles may be represented by progressive waves. The wavelength of the wave (de Broglie wavelength) is lamda = (h)/(p) , where p is the momentum of the particle. When a particle having charge e is accelerated with a potential difference of V, the kinetic energy gained by the particle is K= eV. Thus as the applied potential difference is increased, the kinetic energy of the particle and hence the momentum increase resulting in a decrease in the de Broglie wavelength. Given, charge of electron, e = 1.6 xx 10^(-19)C and mass = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg . The number of photons emitted per second from a light source of power 40 W and wavelength 5893 Å
