1 Photoelectric effect Objective Study photoelectric effect. Measuring and Calculating Planck s constant, h. Measuring Current-Voltage Characteristics of photoelectric Spectral Lines. Theory Experiments showed that, when light is incident on certain metallic surfaces, electrons are emitted from the surfaces. This phenomenon is known as photoelectric effect, and emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. The first discovery of this phenomenon was Hertz. This figure represents an apparatus in which the photoelectric effect can occurs. An evacuated glass tube contains a metal plate K connected to the negative terminal of battery and metal plate A connected to the positive terminal. When tube is kept in dark the ammeter reads zero, indicated no current. When monochromatic light of appropriate wavelength shines on the cathode (K) a current is detected by ammeter; photoelectrons can be emitted and transferred to the anode (A). This constitutes a photocurrent. By changing the voltage between the anode and cathode, and measuring the photocurrent, you can determine the characteristic current-voltage curves of the photoelectric tube. Several features of photoelectric effect could not explained by classical wave theory of light: 1- No electron emitted if the incident frequency below cut off frequency v c. 2- Number of photoelectron emitted is proportional to the light intensity. And the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is independent of light intensity. 3- Maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increase with increasing frequency. The classical wave model predicted that as the intensity of incident light was increased, the amplitude and thus the energy of the wave would increase. This would then cause more energetic photoelectrons to be emitted. The new quantum model, however, predicted that - Higher frequency light would produce higher energy emitted electrons (photoelectrons), independent of intensity. - Increased intensity would only increase the number of electrons emitted (or photoelectric current).
2 - In the early 1900s several investigators found that the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons was dependent on the wavelength, or frequency, and independent of intensity, while the magnitude of the photoelectric current, or number of electrons (photoeectron) was dependent on the intensity as predicted by the quantum model. Einstein applied Planck's theory and explained the photoelectric effect in terms of the quantum model using his famous equation for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1921: E hv = KE max +W 0 Where KE max is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron, and W 0 (the work function) is the minimum energy needed to remove them from the surface of the material. A light photon with energy hv is incident upon an electron in the cathode of a vacuum tube. The electron uses a minimum W O of its energy to escape the cathode, leaving it with a maximum energy of KE max in the form of kinetic energy. Normally the emitted electrons reach the anode of the tube, and can be measured as a photoelectric current. However, by applying a reverse potential V between the anode and the cathode, the photoelectric current can be stopped. KE max can be determined by measuring the minimum reverse potential needed to stop the photoelectrons and reduce the photoelectric current to zero. Relating kinetic energy to stopping potential gives the equation: KEmax = ev s Therefore, using Einstein's equation, h = e V s + W O When solved for V s, the equation becomes: ev s = hv -W 0 V s = h e v - W 0 e If we plot V s vs v for different frequencies of light, the graph will look like Figure. The vertical intercept is equal to W O /e and the slope is h/e. coupling our experimental determination of the ratio h/e with the accepted value for e, x coulombs, we can determine Planck's constant, h.
3 The basic facts of the photoelectric effect experiments are as follows: Photoelectric effect is not observed below a certain cutoff frequency because the energy of photon must equal or grater than the work function W 0. KE max is independent of intensity but it is depends only on the frequency. If the intensity is doubled, the number of photon is doubled, which double the number of photoelectron emitted. KE max Maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increase with increasing frequency because (KE max = hv -W 0 ) dependent only on light frequency and the work function. For a given frequency (color) of light, if the voltage between the cathode and anode, V, is equal to the stopping potential, V s, the photocurrent is zero. When the voltage between the cathode and anode is greater than the stopping voltage, the photocurrent will increase quickly and eventually reach saturation. The saturated current is proportional to the intensity of the incident light. Light of different frequencies (colors) has different stopping potentials. The slope of a plot of stopping potential versus frequency is the value of the ratio, h/e. The photoelectric effect is almost instantaneous. Once the light shines on the cathode, photoelectrons will be emitted in less than a nanosecond. Apparatus Included Equipment 1. Optical Filters, Apertures, Caps, and Screws 2.
