Structure of Atom - Result Question 8
####8. In the photo-electron emission, the energy of the emitted electron is
(a) greater than the incident photon
[1994]
(b) same as than of the incident photon
(c) smaller than the incident photon
(d) proportional to the intensity of incident photon.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) K.E. of emitted electron is smaller than the incident photon.
K.E of emitted electron
[work function is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the material.]
Energy of the incident photon
