Interpretation:
The energy of aphoton with a given wavelength and energy of the photon with a given frequency is to be calculated. The kinetic energy of anelectron ejected by the photon with wavelength
Concept introduction:
A photon is a dimensionless, massless, and charge-less quantum unit of space (particle)with an oscillating
The relation between the speed of light, wavelength, and frequency is as follows:
Here,
The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is used to determine the amount of energy carried by one of its photons.
The energy of the photon is directly proportional to frequency.
Here,
The relation between kinetic energy and binding energy is as follows:
Here,
The relation between
