This section is part of the HSC Physic syllabus Module 7: Nature of Light under Light: Quantum Model.
In this post, we cover the photoelectric effect and how it works.
The following equations are involved in the photoelectric effect:
E = hf, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, c = \lambda vWhat is the photoelectric effect?
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free carriers when electromagnetic radiation, like light, hits a material.
How the photoelectric effect works in metals.
