When an electron is ejected from the surface what type of energy does the electron possess?

It is moving, so it has kinetic energy.


What are photo-electrons?

An electron ejected from the surface of a material by the photoelectric effect


In what way does the photoelectric effect support the particle theory of light?

In order for an electron to be ejected from a metal surface, the electron must be struck by a photon with at least the minimum energy needed to knock the electron loose.

What is auger effect?

When photons of sufficient energy are incident on a surface, an electron is ejected out from the core shell. The electron from the p-orbital or any other orbital of higher energy loses that much energy to fill up the gap created by the loss of this core electron. The energy lost by the p-orbital electron is absorbed by another electron in the same or higher shell, causing it to eject from the atom. This second atom is called the "Auger electron" and the effect is called Auger effect.

What is stopping potential?

The stopping potential is the potential (energy/unit charge) or (Joules/Coulomb) that must be applied to stop the electrons from being ejected from the surface when the light is shone on it.
