Question Answer
Photoelectric Effect When electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal due to electromagnetic radiation hitting the metal
Photon Bundle of light energy
Energy of a photon E = hf
Einstein's Photoelectric Law The energy of the fastest electron emitted is the difference between the energy of the photon and the work function of the metal
Work function The energy needed to remove the loosest electron from the surface of a metal
Threshold frequency The minimum frequency needed to cause photoelectric emission
Velocity of the emitted electron depends on .. The frequency of the light wave
Number of electrons emitted depends on ... The intensity of the light
Formula for Einstein's Photoelectric Law hf = ϕ + 1/2(m)(vmax)²
