Experimental results

Experimental results
Electron KE (electron Volts)
f0
For light freq above f0,the KE of electrons that leave the cathode increases with increasing freq
But does not changeWith light intensity

What does Maxwell’s theory say?

Electrons incathode areaccelerated bythe E-field ofthe light wave

More intense light hasbigger E-fields

And, thereforeLarger acceleration

Electron KE should depend on E-field strength light intensity
Electron’s motion
Not what is
observed
![Page 9: photons](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814d58550346895dba974b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But that’s not what is observed
Electron KE (electron Volts)
f0
0 0.5 1.0 1.5
Above f0,the KE onlydepends on freq, & not on the light’s intensity
Below f0, no electrons jump out of the cathode no matter what the light’s intensity is

Einstein’s explanation
KEelectron = hf -
Light is comprised of particle-like
quanta each with energy Equant = hf
The quanta collide with electrons &Transfer all their energy to them
Each electron needs a minimum energy to escape the cathode. This is called
If Equant is less than , the electron can’t escape
If Equant is greater than , the electron escapes & the quantum energy in excess of becomes electron KE

Light quanta “photons”
Einstein’s light quantawere given the name“photons” by Arthur Compton

Photon Energy for red light
Red light: f = 4.0x1014 Hz
Ephoton = hf
= (6.6x10-34 Js) x (4.0x1014 Hz)
= (6.6x4.0)x10-34+14 J
= 26 x 10-20 J
= 2.6 x 10-19 J

What is the photon’s rest mass?
E=mc2 m= Ec2
m = m0 m0 = m
= m = 0
m0 = 0 Rest mass = 0

Photon’s momentum
For any particle: p=mv
for a photon: m=Ec2
& v = c
p = cEc2

Who’s right??
Waves explain diffraction & interference
Photons explain photoelectric effect & Compton scattering

Impossible to explain interference with particles
With 2 slits openno light goes here
Block off one slit
Now lightcan go here

One photon at a time goes through the two-slit apparatus
