A photon with an energy of 2.24 eV strikes a photoemissive surface whose work function is 1.57 eV. Calculate the threshold frequency for the surface. 1.68 E 14 Hz 3.79 E 14 Hz 5.04 E 14 Hz 7.25 E 14 Hz
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.
