a) Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on a metal having photoelectric work function 2 eV. (i) Find the energy of a photon. (ii) Find the kinetic energy of the most energetic photoelectron. (i) Find the stopping potential.
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
