1
New cards

Amplitude

  • energy (intensity) of light

  • Bigger amp = brighter

  • # of photons


2
New cards

Will an electron absorb energy between energy levels?

NO. Only absorbs energy equal to a specific energy level

3
New cards

Energy of photons dictated by…

Wavelength or frequency of light wave (equation)

4
New cards

Light

  • wave properties doesn’t behave as a classical wave bc light is little photons tgt

  • comes in photons (packet of light)


5
New cards

to eject an electron from the metal, minimum…

FREQUENCY of light is necessary

6
New cards

Above minimum frequency,…

  • Kinetic energy (how fast it moves) of the ejected electron increases with light frequency

  • Higher frequency = more photon energy

  • Photon hits metal, give its energy to electron, perhaps knocking it out of the metal
