The Photoelectric Effect Worksheet - A Level Physics

A Level Physics worksheet containing questions about the lesson: The Photoelectric Effect

Model Answers Included

This worksheet covers the following content:
-photoelectric effect, including a simple experiment to demonstrate this effect
-demonstration of the photoelectric effect using, e.g. gold-leaf electroscope and zinc plate
-a one-to-one interaction between a photon and a surface electron
-Einstein’s photoelectric equation hf = 𝜙 + KEmax
-work function; threshold frequency
-the idea that the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of the incident radiation
-the idea that rate of emission of photoelectrons above the threshold frequency is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
