(depending on the experimental setup) à The evidence for light behaving as wave: interference, diffraction, polarization, and reflection. à UV light could cause sparks to jump between metal electrodes. Einstein (1905) explained the effect and demonstrated the particle-like behavior of light. (Photoelectric effect) à X-rays were scattered by electrons in a material, the scattered X-rays exhibited a longer wavelength than the incident X-rays, indicating a transfer of energy and a loss of energy in the process. (Compton effect) à Electron appears as a localized point with mass and charge (classical particles). However, it can exhibit interference patterns (wave behavior) in double-slit experiment. à In classical, neutrons contribute to the mass and stability of atoms. However, it exhibits interference patterns in neutron diffraction experiments. 7 1.1 Wave-Particle Duality Photoelectric effect 5. The energy of a photon depends on its frequency (f). 1. A phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a metal surface when it is exposed to light (photon) of enough frequency. ! = ℎ$ 2. Light is expressed in term of photon. h = Planck's equation 3. The emitted electron is called photoelectron. 6. Light intensity (I) is a measure of the number of photons per 4. This effect was first observed and explained by unit area and per unit (me. Einstein and is a fundamental principle in the field of quantum mechanics. 7. So, with a higher light intensity, there are more photons available to interact with the metal, leading to a larger number of photoelectrons being emiSed. Example, 8 1.1 Wave-Particle Duality Photoelectric effect - Escape the material entirely. - Free from the material’s potential. Vacuum level (eV) - Not the same for all metals; 1. Threshold frequency (!% ): (e.g., electronic structure, surface Solid-state physics conditions ) The minimum frequency of incident light (photon) required to initiate the emission of photoelectrons (A) CB from a metal surface. 2. Work func the highest energy level in a material at absolute zero temperature (0 K or -273.15°C) at which electrons can occupy. => It serves as a reference point in energy band theory for the distribution of electrons in a solid. => above absolute zero (0 K), the Fermi level indicates the energy state at which the probability of à Minimum amount of energy finding an electron is 50%. needed to remove an electron from the metal. In metals, work function and ionization energy are the same. 10 (h#ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_level#/media/File:Band_filling_diagram.svg) 1.1 Wave-Particle Duality Photoelectric effect ⑰ & = ℎ# (1) ℎ# = % + &' (3) (energy of photon) (conservation of energy in fro + Ei photoelectric effect) ℎ#& = % (2) 1 (specific for each metal) !! = %& " (4) 2 (Here, it is a maximum value) 11 1.1 Wave-Particle Duality Final Photoelectric effect UV UV SEM oo ℎ$ = ( + !

Here, there is constructive interference in tiny region and destructive interference every where else. 33 1.2 Uncertainty Relationships Oconcept Amplitude For light (electromagnetic waves) -Wave: amplitude of the wave is related to the intensity or brightness of the light In quantum mechanics (wave-parAcle duality), light can behave as a parAcle like a photon. - we explain by using ‘wave funcJon’ - Wave funcAon: the amplitude of the wave funcJon is associated with probability. for example, the square of the amplitude of the wave funcAon gives the probability density of finding the parAcle (photon, electron, etc.) at a parAcular locaAon when measured. 34 1.2 Uncertainty Relationships In wave-par
