Q11.3Multiple choice
Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy E0) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
- (a)no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons.
- (b)electrons can be emitted but all with an energy, E0.
- (c)electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of E0 – φ (φ is the work function).
- (d)electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of E0.
