Photon energy (formula)

E=hfE = hf

Work function (ϕ\phi)

Min. energy to remove electron from metal

Work function in terms of cut-off freq.

ϕ=hf0\phi = hf_0

Photoelectric equation

Kmax=hfϕK_{\text{max}} = hf - \phi

Condition for photoemission

Photon freq. > cut-off freq. (f>f0f > f_0)

Gradient of KmaxK_{\text{max}} vs ff plot

Planck's constant (hh)

Why photoelectrons have energy range

Lose energy in collisions before escape

Rest mass of a photon

Zero

Millikan verification time

Ten years

Y-intercept of KmaxK_{\text{max}} vs ff graph

Negative work function (ϕ-\phi)
