Document Summary

Refers to the phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when light strikes it. No electrons are emitted by a metal below its specific threshold frequency (light has to be strong enough. Below the threshold frequency no electrons are emitted no matter how intense light is. If frequency is greater than threshold frequency the ke of emitted e- increases linearly w/ frequency of light. Minimum energy required to remove a e- is e0, or w or (work function or binding energy)=h 0 (threshold frequency) Energy kinetic of e-= hv (light that is shining) - hv0.
