Phya5 photoelectricty
A few questions:
- How did classical wave theory fail to explain photelectric effect?
- What is stopping potential?
- How is stopping potential measured using potential divider and vacuum photocell?
- Why do the photoelectrons have a range of kinetic energies?
- Why was Einstein's explanation of photoelectricity significant in terms of EM radioation?
Thanks
