Einstein’s explanation for Photoelectric effect.

Einstein’s explanation for photoelectric effect.

 
Energy of a striking photon= Binding energy + K.E. of ejected electron.
hv = x + ½ mv2
hv = hv0 + ½ mv2
K.E. ( ½ mv2) = h (v-v0)

hv = energy of a photon
hv0= x = threshold energy
v0   = Threshold frequency.
K.E. = ½ mv2
