Write the basic features of photon picture of electromagnetic radiation on which Einstein's photoelectric equation is based. [CBSE Delhi 2013) . Features of the photons: { Photons are particles of light having energy E = hv and momentum p = & where h is Planck constant. i) Photons travel with the speed of light in vacuum, independent of the frame of reference. (ii) Intensity of light depends on the number of photons crossing unit area in a unit time. . Define the term ‘stopping potential’ in relation to photoelectric effect. _ [CBSE (AI) 2011} . The minimum retarding (negative) potential of anode of a photoelectric tube for which photoelectric current stops or becomes zero is called the stopping potential Define the term ‘threshold * in relations to photoelectric effects. scl nue eal [CBSE (F) 2011, 2019 (55/1/1), 2020 (55/2/0))Q7 Ans.
