Study Notes
Work Function and Photoelectric Effect
- The work function (ϕ) of a metal is the minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal's surface, and it is related to the threshold frequency (f_0) by the equation ϕ = hf_0.
- The photoelectric law states that the energy of the incident photon (hf) is equal to the work function (ϕ) plus the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron (1/2 m〖v_max〗^2).
Energy of a Photon
- The energy of a photon (E) is directly proportional to its frequency (f) and is given by the equation E = hf.
Centripetal Force
- Centripetal force (F) is the force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, and it is given by the equation F = (mv^2)/r, where m is the mass of the object, v is its linear velocity, and r is the radius of the circle.
Energy Conversion of a Charged Particle
- The energy conversion of a charged particle in an electric field is given by the equation qV = 1/2 mv^2, where q is the charge of the particle, V is the voltage through which the particle is accelerated, m is the mass of the particle, and v is its velocity.
- The energy of a charged particle in an electric field is given by the equation E = qV, where E is the energy, q is the charge, and V is the voltage.
