Laws of photo electric effect

Laws of photo electric effect : The laws of photo electric effect are----

  • The number of electrons emitted per second will be directly proportional to the intensity of radiated light.
                  Number of photo electrons α intensity of incident light
                  Number of photo electrons α photo electric current
  • There is a lower limit of frequency called threshold frequency below it no emission takes place however high the intensity of the incident radiation. So that ---
                                 E > W₀ ,    ν > ν₀   and       λ <  λ₀ 
  • Above threshold frequency the maximum velocity with which electrons emerges is dependent on the frequency and not on the intensity of the radiated light.
                                    ½ mv2max  α  ν
  • The emission of photo electron is an instantaneous process. It means time difference between incidence of light and emission of photo electron is very small may be less than even 10-9 second.{no time lag}
