The graph below shows the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons as a function of the energy of the photons that are incident on a particular surface. From this graph, determine the following: a) the work function (in eV) 2) the threshold frequency (in Hz) Thank you for the help!
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.
