State factors that affect photoelectric emission

      

State factors that affect photoelectric emission.

  

Answers


John
i) Type of metal

ii) Frequency of radiation

iii) Intensity of radiation

1. Work function of the metal - photoelectrons are emitted at different velocities with the maximum being processed by the ones at the surface
2. Energy of protons
3. Frequency of the metal incident radiation - the cut-off potential for each surface is directly proportional to the frequency of the incident radiation.
4. Intensity of radiation falling on the metal - the rate of emission of photoelectrons is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation.

Next: State one application of thermionic emission.
Previous: In a sample there are 5.12 x 1020 atoms of krypton -92 initially. If the half-life of krypton-92 is 3.0 s, determine the number of atoms that will have decayed after 6 s.
