A monochromatic light with a frequency of 6.77, 10^14 Hz falls on a sodium surface with a breaking energy of 2.64 eV. Find the stopping potential to be applied between the cathode and the anode to reduce the photocurrent to zero. ( h = 6.63. 10 -34 Js)
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
