What is photoelectric effect ? Draw a neat figure of the experimental arrangement used to study photoelectric effect.

Answer»

Solution :
Photoelectric effect is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from the surface of a METAL when light of suitable high frequency (i.e., having frequency equal to or greater than the threshold frequency) is allowed to fall ont he metal surface. if we design a photoelectric tube ad maintain a suitable potential DIFFERENCE between photosensitive cathode C (emitter plate) and an anode A, due to motion of photoelectrons towards the anode (collector plate), a photoelectric current is SET up in the circuit. photoelectric current is set up in the circuit arrangement USED is shown in figure.
