Kinetic energy of a photon

    • Measuring Planck’s Constant Using the Photoelectric Effect

      Photon energies can be calculated by where . c = 3.00 x 108 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum and is the wavelength of the photon in m. Frequency can be found for a photon using . The kinetic energy of an electron can be found by applying an opposing or retarding voltage to the electron to see how much is needed to stop it moving.

      Determine the frequency of this light and the energy per photon. It is sometimes convenient to speak about the wavenumber defined as 1/ and traditionally quoted in unit of cm-1 (sometimes this unit is just called “wavenumbers”). If visible light runs from a wavelength range of 4000 to 6500 Å work out the range in terms of wavenumber ...

      If the photon energy is E = h( (where ( = c/( is the frequency of the light), then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is: Kmax = h( ( ( (1) To determine the kinetic energy of the electrons, we measure the voltage necessary to stop the most energetic electrons. This voltage is called the stopping potential Vs.

      Mead writes, “In a collective system, the sum of the potential and kinetic energy terms, when integrated over all space, represents the total electrodynamic energy. As Maxwell indicated, if the accounting is done this way, there is no additional ‘energy of the field’ for which to account.” ... Each photon, if it strikes a lower-level ...

      When a -ray photon enters the NaI(Tl) crystal (or any matter) it can interact in one of three ways: photoelectric capture, Compton scattering or pair production. In the photoelectric effect all of the energy is absorbed by a bound electron and is converted into the kinetic energy of this electron (minus a small binding energy and recoil loss).

      The energy of the electron was divided up into two accounts: the energy needed to escape the metal’s surface, and the kinetic energy due to its movement after it escaped. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: Ephoton = Ekinetic + Eescape. The kinetic energy can be measured indirectly by using what is known as the stopping voltage.
