Photoelectric Effect Fun

Posted by Mr Mallon on March 21, 2011

Hi Physics lovers! Click below to try the wonderful PhET simulation on the photoelectric effect.
Carry out the experiment and see if you can answer these questions.

  1. Find the threshold frequency for each of the metals in the simulation
  2. Does an increase in the irradiance (intensity in the simulation) have any effect on the maximum kinetic energy of each ejected electron?

Have some fun.
