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).

- 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 – φ0 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?
- Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?
Radiation of frequency 1015 Hz is incident on three photosensitive surfaces A, B and C. Following observations are recorded:
Surface A: no photoemission occurs
Surface B: photoemission occurs but the photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy.
Surface C: photo emission occurs and photoelectrons have some kinetic energy.
Using Einstein’s photo-electric equation, explain the three observations.
