1.

Is photoelectric emission possible at all frequencies ? Give reason for your answer .

Answer»

SOLUTION :Kinetic energy of photoelectrons is GIVEN by Einstein.s PHOTOELECTRIC equation `K_max = 1/2 mv_max^2 = hv - omega_0` = `(hv)/lembda - omega_0`
`therefore v_max^2 prop 1/lambda`
`v_max prop 1/sqrtlembda`. As the wavelength of incident LIGHT decreases, the velocity of photoelectrons increases.
