What falls when photoelectrons start getting trapped?
Current
2
New cards
What is the definition of stopping potential
the voltage at which no photoelectrons reach the collector plate
3
New cards
What does the stopping potential equal
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons
4
New cards
How does increasing the intensity of the incident light affect the current?
increases the number of photons, therefore increases the current
5
New cards
How does increasing the frequency affect the stopping potential?
increases the maximum kinetic energy, therefore increases the stopping potential
6
New cards
How does the potential difference affect the current?
the higher the potential difference the lower the current
