Assume that the total energy E of an electron greatly exceeds its rest energy E0. If a photon has a wavelength equal to the de Broglie wavelength of the electron, what is the photon’s energy? Repeat the problem assuming E= 2E0 for the electron.
The photoelectric equation for the kinetic energy of a photoelectron is, following Einstein, E < hf – W, whereh is Planck's constant, f is the frequency of the light, and W is the work-function. Sodium has W = 3.2×10-19 J. When sodium is illuminated by monochromatic light of a particular frequency, electrons are emitted with speeds up to 8 x 105 ms-1. a) Calculate the wavelength of the light. b) Calculate the stopping potential.
An electron has a de Broglie wavelength λ = 4.5×10−10 m . h=6.626×10−34 J⋅s, e=1.602×10−19 C, me=9.109×10−31 kg. What is its momentum? (p =h/)
