Photoelectric Effect

Science > Physics > Photoelectric Effect > Photoelectric Effect It is found that when the light of very short wavelength (or high frequency) is incident on a certain metallic surface of photosensitive material, electrons are emitted by the surface. Most of the metals emit electrons when ultra-violet light is incident on them. However, alkali metals […]
