Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A photosensitive material emits electrons forming a current. Explain the experimental setup that would determine the effects of varying intensity and frequency on the photoelectric current created. What considerations must be made when varying the collector potential?

💡 Hint: Think about how varying both the light and the setup's characteristics will influence the observed results.

Question 2

Define and derive the relationships between the stopping potential and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons in the context of the photoelectric effect.

💡 Hint: Link the stopping potential to electron interactions with photons.
