Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davission and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure) The surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of 400 nm . The kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons was found to be 1.68 eV . The work function of the metal is : ( hc = 1240 eV-nm )

(i) In the explanation of photoelectric effect we assume one photon of frequency with v collides with an electron and transfers its energy.This lead to the equation for the maximum energy E_(max) of the emitted electron as E_(max)=hv-phi_(0) Where phi_(0) is the work function of the metal If an electron absorbs 2 photon (each of frequency v)What will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron? (ii)Why is this fact (two photon absorption)not taken into consueration in our discussion of the stopping potential?
