Class 12 Physics Chapter 11 – Topics Covered

Photoelectric Effect is the phenomenon of emission of photoelectron from the metal surface when a beam of light of suitable frequency is incident on it.

The electrons that are emitted from the surface are known as photoelectrons and the current produced is known as the photoelectric current.

Effect of Intensity of Light on Photo current: For a fixed frequency of incident radiation, the photoelectric current linearly increases with an increase in the intensity of incident light.

Effect of Intensity of light on photocurrent

Work Function is the minimum amount of energy that is required to eject an electron from the outermost surface of a metal.

\(Work\ Function, W = hv_o\ (threshold\ frequency)= {hc \over \lambda_0 (threshold\ wavelength)}\)

For a given frequency of incident radiation, the minimum negative potential V₀ given to a plate for which the photoelectric current becomes zero is known as cut-off or stopping potential.

\(KE_{max} = eV_0 => {1 \over 2} mv^2_{max} = eV_0\)

Einstein Photoelectric Equation: When hv is the energy of photon and Ф is the work-function, the equation is given by:

\(K_{max} = hv - \Phi0\)
