Photoelectric Effect

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the dual nature of light as both particles and waves. • Explain how the energy of photons can be calculated using a specific formula. • Describe the photoelectric effect and its significance in physics. • Calculate the work function from the threshold frequency using an equation. • Apply Einstein's equation to determine the kinetic energy of electrons ejected by photons.
