Photoelectric
Effect
The Photoelectric effect is summarised in the following equation:
hf is the energy of the photon (E = hf),
EK is the maximum kinetic energy of a released electron and
the work function is represented by the Greek symbol 'phi'.
so
rearranging we get an equation of a straight line
Ek
on the y axis
f on the
x axis
a gradient of the Planck constant
and
a negative intercept of the work function
