Understanding the Photoelectric Effect: Ek = hν - Φ Explained

The photoelectric effect describes how light can eject electrons from a material. This equation, Ek = hν - Φ, illustrates the relationship between the kinetic energy (Ek) of emitted electrons, light frequency (ν), and the work function (Φ) of the material. Below the threshold frequency, no kinetic energy is present, indicating no electrons are emitted. Above this threshold, the kinetic energy increases linearly with the frequency of the incident light, revealing important principles of quantum mechanics and photoelectric phenomena.
