All metals will emit a photoelectric effect. However, alkali metals do so in the visible light spectrum, while other metals do so in near-ultraviolet light.
The alkali metals are: Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Caesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).
Someone that knows the answer pllz tell me i need the answer :(
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
One of the most revolutionary concepts in physics is the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect occurs when radiant energy is impinged on various metals and electrons are ejected from the metal surface. The ejected photoelectrons have a certain kinetic energy which can be measured by the produced voltage. Photoelectric current cannot be explained by the wave theory as diffraction and interference can, however. The photoelectric effect is important because it revealed some of the limitations of the classical wave theory and it gave closer insight into the nature of light- namely the quantization as photons.
I think X-rays are the reverse process of photoelectric effect.
no , it cannot be observed in same conditions of incident light because, the threshold energy will be different for different metals.so in that particular threshold energy only the photoelectric effect for that metal can be observed.....
After irradiation with photons metals emit electrons.

potassium
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
The ionization enthalpy of K and Cs is less than that of Li and therefore these metals easily lose electrons on exposure to light than lithium.That's the reason potassium and cesium are used in photoelectric cells rather than Cs.

When the light combine with the speed in a photoelectric effect it produces a picture of the object.
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
