Question

State Einstein photoelectric equation. 

Derivation

Solution

K.E.max = `(hν - phi_0)`

or K.E.max = (hν – hv0)     

or `1/2 mv_(max)^2 = hv - hv_0`

where, (K.E.)max → Maximum kinetic energy

= `1/2 mv_(max)^2`

`phi_0` Photoelectric work function = hv0

h → Planck’s constant

v → Frequency of radiation

v0 → Threshold frequency
