Hallwach still observed when negatively charged zinc plate connected to emitter plate,
it loosed its charge. When neutral zinc plate connected to emitter plate, it gains
positive charge when positively charged zinc plate connected to emitter plate, its
positive charge further enhanced. By those observations, he concluded negatively
charged particles were emitted from zinc plate under the action of ultraviolet light.
Lenard observed , when ultraviolet radiation were allowed to fall on emitter plate of
an evacuated glass tube enclosing two electrodes , current flows in the circuit. As
soon as ultraviolet radiation stopped, current flow will also stop.

Electrons are emitted when ultraviolet radiations are made to fall on photosensitive
plate C. These electrons are accelerated towards Anode A when it is at positive
potential with respect to cathode. This flow of electrons from cathode to anode creates
These Plates are connected through a battery through a suitable switch. Plate A can
be brought to positive or negative potential with respect to cathode C.

The Negative voltage at the photo electric current becomes zero is called Stopping
potential . Stopping potential is independent of intensity of incident light.
When potential of plate A becomes negative, most of electrons will repelled and
photo electric current decreases and become zero at certain point. Although
intensity of light changes, Always electric current becomes zero at a single point.

According to wave picture of light , the free electrons at the surface of metal (over
which the beam of radiation falls) absorb the radiant energy continuously. The
greater the intensity of radiation, the greater is the amplitude of electric and magnetic
fields.

Millikan experimented with lot of alkali metals and found a straight line graph
between stopping potential and frequency. Straight line have slope (h/e), as
charge of electron is known, Plancks constant is calculated perfectly from these
graphs.
V0 = (h/e) (0/e)
Thus Millikan successfully Proved Einstein explanation of photo electric effect.
10. What are the properties of photons?
A) Einstein thought that light has got particle like behavior during its interaction with
matter. According to him, light consists of particles associated with definite amount of
energy and momentum. These particles were termed as Photons.
A photon is a packet of energy given by E = h = hc/.

Photo electric cells are used in Automatic fire alarms , Automatic Burglar
Alarm , Scanners , Reproduction of sound in cinema films , to locate flaws or
holes in finished goods etc.,
A) According to Debroglie, Particles like electron, proton and neutron also have
both wave and particle nature. The waves associated with moving particles are
called matter waves and the wavelength is called Debroglie wavelength.
According to quantum theory, energy of photon is given by E = h
According to Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy of photon is E=
mc2.
mc2 = h
mc2 = hc/
mc = h/
or
= h/mc or = h/p

1. Electron gun: it consists of tungsten filament with barium oxide coating. This
filament acts as an emitter. It is heated by low tension battery to give
thermionic emission. The emitted electrons are accelerated through high
