When ultraviolet radiation of 9.5 X 10 14 Hz is incident on a metal sheet, photoelectrons are produced that leave at a maximum speed of one thousandth of the speed of light in a vacuum. Calculate the threshold frequency of the metal.
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.
