To derive the expression for the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons emitted from the cathode of a photocell when photons of wavelength \( \lambda \) are incident on it, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy of the incident photon The energy \( E \) of a photon is given by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( c \) is the speed of light, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the incident light. ...
