Document Summary

Photoelectric effect: observation that metals emit electrons when light shines upon them. Amount of energy transferred from light to object must exceed binding energy (energy that keeps electron to the object) Depends on intensity of the light and not the wavelength. If intensity low, lag time is the time between initial light and the emission of electrons. No electrons emitted unless frequency v (nu) is above a certain threshold frequency v, regardless of the light intensity. Energy of photon = hv = hc/ . H = planck"s constant = 6. 626 * 10^-34 j*s. Photon: a packet of light/ a quantum of light. Energy pulse / energy of photon = number of photons. Ke of emitted electrons = hv - . Interference is not electrons interfering with another, but rather by each electron interfering with itself. Can"t simultaneously observe both particle nature of the electron and the wave nature of the electron emission spectrum: series of bright lights.
