उत्तर

is related to the shortest wavelength

For photoelectric effect to be observed, wavelength of the incident light `(λ)` should be less than the threshold wavelength `(λ_0)` of the metal .

Einstein's photoelectric equation :

`eV_0 = (hc)/(λ_0) - varphi`

Here, V0 = stopping potential

`λ_0` = threshold wavelength

h = Planck's constant

`varphi` = work-function of metal
It is clear from the above equation that stopping potential is related to the shortest wavelength (threshold wavelength).

  1. In the explanation of photo electric effect, we assume one photon of frequency ν collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy Emax of the emitted electron as Emax = hν – φ where φ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency ν) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?
  2. Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?

There are materials which absorb photons of shorter wavelength and emit photons of longer wavelength. Can there be stable substances which absorb photons of larger wavelength and emit light of shorter wavelength.
