KINETIC ENERGY
of the fastest ejected electron.
Vo = the stopping potential at which
the photoelectric current does drop to
zero.
MINIMUM WAVELENGTH
MAXIMUM KINETIC ENERGY shortest wavelength photon would be
where the electron is loosely bind, and emitted when an electron loses all its
no internal energy losses due to kinetic energy
collision. thus eV there the energy acquired by
hv = the energy of the absorbed the electron in being accelerated
incident photon through potential diff
Wo = characteristic energy of the
metal, minimum energy needed to
remove electron
COMPTON EQUATION
the Compton shift, depends only on the
scattering angle, and not on the initial
wavelength
varies from 0 (grazing collision) to
2h/moc (head-on collision) [0 and 180}
