Best Answer

First, you need to work out the energy produced

ie. E=hc/ lambda

then you subtract its work function from the energy produced

ie. KE=E-Eo

What is photo electron spectroscopy?

The utilization of photo-ionization and kinetic energy distribution analysis of emitted photoelectrons to study the electronic state and composition of the surface region of a sample is known as photoelectron spectroscopy. This technique can be subdivided into two areas: X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy.


Why the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons varies up to a maximum value?

Let the work function of a metal be W. Let C be a constant of the dimension of energy. if Kis the maximum kinetic energy of an electron then.......W=C-K..... (K HERE IS THE ENERGY SUPLIED BY A PHOTON TO THE ELECTRON)


What is the time lag between the arrival of light at a metal surface and the emission of photoelectron?

no time lag.................

What best describes the primary wavelength of radiation emitted by Earth's surface?

they are longer than those emitted by the sun.


What are the Differences between thermionic emission and photoelectric emission?

Electrons would have enough energy to leave the metal surface, the hot cathode. However, without the forward voltage bias, positive anode. The vacuum diode could not conduct electricity. In other words, the initial kinetic energy of the emitted electrons can be ignored [0 J].Whereas, the photo-emitted electrons possess definite amount of initial kinetic energy.K.E. of e = hf - WorkFunctionSee, the initial k.e. is not neglectable.
