Photo electric effect: It is the phenomenon of emissionof electrons from a metallic surface 4
When light of a suitable frequency is incident on it. The emitted electrons are called
photoelectrons.
Nearly all metals exhibit these effect with ultraviolet light but alkali metals like Lithium,
Sodium, potassium, cesium ,etc .show this effect even with
visible light. It is an instantaneous process I.e
photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the light is incident
on the metal surface .The number of
photoelectrons
emitted per sec is directly proportional to the intensity of
the incident radiation. The maximum kinetic energy of the
photoelectrons emitted from a given metal surface is independent of the intensity of the
incident light and depends only on the frequency of the incident light. For a given metal
surface there is a certain minimum value of the frequency of the incident light below which
emission of photoelectrons does not occur.
