While conducting a photoelectric-effect experiment with light of a certain frequency, you find that a reverse potential difference of 2.25 V is required to reduce the current to zero. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy and (b) the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons.
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.
