Question : 12
Total: 26
Write three characteristic features in photoelectric effect which cannot be explained on the basis of wave theory of light, but can be explained only using Einstein's equation.
Solution:
Three characteristic features
The three characteristic features which can't be explained by wave theory are:
(i) Kinetic energy of emitted electrons are found to be independent of intensity of incident light.
(ii) Below a certain frequency (threshold) there is no photo-emission.
(iii) Spontaneous emission of photo-electrons.
