Unit 8 LAB- Photoelectric Effect Created by Young Su Kang
Materials:
• Google PhET Simulation- photoelectric effect
Vocabulary:
• Electron volt– a unit of energy that is equal to the energy of an electron that is accelerated by a potential difference of 1 volt
• Frequency- the number of times something happens in a given period of time
• Intensity- a measure of how much energy passes through a region in a given time
• Photoelectric effect- the emission of electrons from the surface of a material when struck by electromagnetic radiation
• Photon- the smallest possible amount of light; a quantum of light.
• Voltage- a measure of the strength of an electrical field.
• Wavelength- the distance between consecutive crests or troughs of a wave
• Work function- the minimum energy required to remove an electron from a solid …show more content…

Among Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Platinum, and Calcium, which element do you think is the hardest to extract electrons from? Explain.

2. Predict whether wavelength of a wave would play a role in the energy of the emitted electrons.

Activity:
1. Observe and describe the effect of different wavelengths on speed of electrons emitted.

2. Observe and describe the effect of different levels of intensity on number of electrons emitted.

3. Select different elements of sodium, zinc, copper, platinum, and calcium. Does the type of element affect what you have answered in question 1 and 2? Explain.

4. Set the intensity to 100% and voltage to 0.00V. In the visible spectrum of light, what colors allow electrons to reach the end? (Experiment with different colors of light in the

The three most important properties of a wave are the wavelength, the amplitude, and the frequency. The wavelength is the distance from one point on a wave to the next identical point on the next wave. The amplitude is the distance from a waves rest position to either the crest or trough of the wave. The frequency is a rate which represents the amount of times a wave repeats

Task 1 (P1) The periodic table is laid out into groups and periods. They are also put into different blocks S-Block, D-Block, P-block and F-Block due to their energy levels. They are organised by their energy levels and chemicals properties. As the elements go along the periods in the periodic table the electronegativity increases but as the elements go down the groups the electronegativity decreases.

1a. Sodium has a larger radius than lithium because it has a higher principle quantum number and it’s electrons occupy more subshells. Because sodium and lithium are in the same group they both have 1 valence electron, but sodium has its outermost electron at n=3, and lithium’s outermost electron is at n=2, so sodium will have a larger radius despite effective nuclear charge. 1b. Magnesium has a smaller radius than sodium because it’s valence electrons have a stronger net attraction to the nucleus.

With the use of colorimeter, it will show how much light can be transmitted through the solutions. When the cells in the solution are centrifuged, they go to the bottom of the tube to form pallets. The liquid above the pallet are clear then they are able to quickly transmit light. However if the cells has erupted, the hemoglobin is released will be left above the pallet and observed cloudy. This will cause the solution to have less light transmitted during the use of

Albert was considered to be the most influential physicist of the twentieth century. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in nineteen-twenty-one for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is the result of light energy being carried in separate quantized packets. In addition, he used the phenomenon explaining that electromagnetic radiation knocks out electrons causing a current to flow in metals to show that light was quantized and came in energy packets called photons. This discovery led to the quantum theory.
