I don't think the magnitude of the current is. But there is a definite wavelength of
incident light where photo-current suddenly begins ... longer wavelengths produce
no photo-current at all, no matter how bright the light is. Einstein was awarded his
first Nobel Prize for the explanation of why that happens.
What else can I help you with?
Can the work function depend upon the wavelength of light?
Yes, definitely . For the given metal of particular work function, decrease in wavelength of the incident beam increases the maximum value of kinetic energy with which the photoelectrons are emitted, but the photoelectric current remains the same, stoppage voltage increases.
How does the speed of light depend on the wavelength?
The equation relating the velocity, wavelength and frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given byv=f λwhere v - velocity of the em wavef - frequency of the em wave andλ - wavelength of the em wave------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is so important to know that velocity of light depends on the nature of the medium and does not depend on the wavelength.
How does the distance between consecutive bright fringes depend on the wavelength of the light?
The distance between consecutive bright fringes in a double-slit interference pattern depends on the wavelength of the light. Specifically, the distance increases as the wavelength of the light increases.
When light shines on a metal surface the maximum energies of emitted electrons?
depend on the frequency of the incident light. The maximum energy of emitted electrons is given by the equation E = hf - φ, where E is the maximum energy, h is Planck's constant, f is the frequency of the incident light, and φ is the work function of the metal.
Does plane mirror reflect rays of all wavelength?
Yes, plane mirrors reflect all wavelengths of light in the same way. The reflection of light off a mirror does not depend on the specific wavelength of light.
Can the work function depend upon the wavelength of light?
Yes, definitely . For the given metal of particular work function, decrease in wavelength of the incident beam increases the maximum value of kinetic energy with which the photoelectrons are emitted, but the photoelectric current remains the same, stoppage voltage increases.
Does the color of visible light depend on the wavelength of the light?
Yes.
When the wavelength of the light is halved what is the amount of scattering?
the amount of scattering does not depend on wavelength..
Does the angel of refraction depend on the wavelength?
Yes, the angel of refraction does depend on the wavelength of the light passing through a medium. This is known as dispersion, where different wavelengths of light are bent at different angles as they pass through a medium, causing them to separate.
Can light harm foods?
yes in some cases but that is depend on the wavelength/nature of that light.
How does the speed of light depend on the wavelength?
The equation relating the velocity, wavelength and frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given byv=f λwhere v - velocity of the em wavef - frequency of the em wave andλ - wavelength of the em wave------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is so important to know that velocity of light depends on the nature of the medium and does not depend on the wavelength.
What conditions will bend light?
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
How does the distance between consecutive bright fringes depend on the wavelength of the light?
The distance between consecutive bright fringes in a double-slit interference pattern depends on the wavelength of the light. Specifically, the distance increases as the wavelength of the light increases.
Is color a characteristic of visible light that does not depend on the lights wavelength?
Different wavelengths of light have different colors.
When light shines on a metal surface the maximum energies of emitted electrons?
depend on the frequency of the incident light. The maximum energy of emitted electrons is given by the equation E = hf - φ, where E is the maximum energy, h is Planck's constant, f is the frequency of the incident light, and φ is the work function of the metal.
Does plane mirror reflect rays of all wavelength?
Yes, plane mirrors reflect all wavelengths of light in the same way. The reflection of light off a mirror does not depend on the specific wavelength of light.
Is frequency a characteristic of visible light that does not depend on the light's wavelength?
No, frequency and wavelength of visible light are directly related through the speed of light in a vacuum. The frequency of visible light waves is inversely proportional to their wavelength: shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is wavelength, and ν is frequency.
