What minimum-frequency light will eject photons from a copper surface? f = Hz (b) If this frequency is multiplied by 4.1, find the maximum kinetic energy (in eV) of the resulting photoelectrons. KEmax = eV
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.
