The Photoelectric Effect


At the stopping voltage the kinetic energy of the ejected electron has been converted to potential.

At frequencies greater than o:


Vs = k ( - o)

The Photoelectric Effect


Ek = eVs Eo = ho o = eVo h

eVo, and therefore o, are characteristic of the metal. Conservation of energy requires that: Ephoton = Ek + Ebinding Ek = Ephoton - Ebinding 1 mu2 + eVo 2 1 eVs = mu2 = h - eVo 2 h =

Ionization Energy of Hydrogen


E = RH ( 1 1 ) = h ni2 nf2

As nf goes to infinity for hydrogen starting in the ground state: h = RH ( 1 ) = RH ni2

This also works for hydrogen-like species such as He+ and Li2+. h = -Z2 RH

Summary of Bohrs Atomic Theory


Electrons are in motion around the nucleus (orbits) But, for circular orbits, electrons would possess angular momentum (acceleration) and therefore radiate energy! So, using Plancks quantum hypothesis, 1) El t Electrons move i fi d orbits around th nucleus in fixed bit d the l 2) Fixed orbits (stationary states) mean properties of individual electrons will have unique values for example values, example, the angular momentum is quantized based on the orbit in which the electron resides. 3) Electrons only pass between allowed orbits. This means that fixed quanta of energy are involved. QUANTUM NUMBERS!

Calculate the wavelength in nm of absorbed light. g g Calculate the E of one photon of UV ( = 1 x 10-8 m), visible ( = 5 x 10-7 m) and IR ( = 1 x 10-4 m) light. What do the answers indicate about the relationship between and E? p Calculate the Energy required to remove an electron from a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Calculate the wavelength of the transition from n = 4 to n = 1 in Hydrogen (one of the Lyman series of transitions). Calculate the de Broglie wavelengths of a 50 kg mass travelling at the speed of light and for a proton (m = 1 673 x 10-27 kg) travelling at this speed What do 1.673 speed. these wavelengths say about the wave properties of matter in relation to their size?
