Incident light Cathode Anode A V + - Stopping potential: Vo= 0.800 V Example 4:The threshold frequency for a given surface is 1.09 x 1015 Hz. What is the stopping potential for incident light whose photon energy is 8.48 x 10-19 J? Photoelectric Equation: W = (6.63 x 10-34 Js)(1.09 x 1015 Hz) =7.20 x 10-19 J
Total Energy, E Total Relativistic Energy Recall that the formula for the relativistic total energy was given by: For a particle with zero momentum p= 0: E =moc2 A light photon has mo= 0, but it does have momentum p: E =pc
Wavelength of a photon: de Broglie Wavelength: Waves and Particles We know that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. The rest mass of a photon is zero, and its wavelength can be found from momentum. All objects, not just EM waves, have wavelengths which can be found from their momentum
Momentum from K: Finding Momentum from K.E. In working with particles of momentum p = mv, it is often necessary to find the momentum from the given kinetic energy K. Recall the formulas: K = ½mv2 ; p = mv Multiply first Equation by m: mK =½m2v2= ½p2
- e- 90 eV Example 5:What is the de Broglie wavelength of a 90-eV electron? (me = 9.1 x 10-31 kg.) Next, we find momentum from the kinetic energy: p = 5.12x 10-24 kg m/s l = 0.122 nm
Planck’s Equation: E = hf (h = 6.626 x 10-34 J s) Photon 1 eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J The Electron-volt: E = hf 1 MeV = 1.6 x 10-13 J 1 keV = 1.6 x 10-16 J Summary Apparently, light consists of tiny bundles of energy called photons, each having a well-defined quantum of energy.
