Photoelectrons from a material whose work function is 2.27 eV are ejected by 502 nm photons. Once ejected, how long does it take these electrons (in ns) to travel 3.35 cm to a detection device? _______ ns
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.
