To derive the expression for the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons emitted from a photocell when photons of wavelength \( \lambda \) are incident on it, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect In the photoelectric effect, when light (photons) strikes a material, it can cause the emission of electrons. The energy of the incident photons can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: ...
