LECTURE 31
     questions after lecture

first try these again

now think about these

  • Why is it surprising for a wave to have energy exactly proportional to frequency? Give an example of a classical wave which definitely does not have this property.
  • What are the surprising things about shining visible and UV light on materials to try to get electrons out?
  • Why does UV light set electrons free but visible light doesn't?
  • How many UV photons does it take to set free an electron?
  • On the energy diagram of the photoelectric effect, what is the significance of the slope of the line in the positive energy region showing E versus f?
  • How can you increase the kinetic energy of a liberated electron?
  • Give the names and definitions of G, c, e, h, k.
  • What is quantization?
