PHOTON (Quantum Of Light)
• In 1905,Einstein proposed that electromagnetic radiation
or light is made up of photons. Thus the photon is the
elementary element of light or light is made up of photons.
• Einstein show that light energy is not emitted continuously
but it is emitted by individual amount of energy called as
quantum of energy.
Energy Of Photon
• According to Einstein, each photon of alight wave of
frequency has the energy E is given by, E=hv
• where E= energy of photon(joule)
h= planks constant-6.626 x10−34
v = frequency of photon(Hz)
Properties Of Photon
• A photon does not have any mass.
• The energy of a photon is directly proportional to
frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.
• In the interaction of radiation with matter, radiation
behaves as if it is made up of particles called photons.
Photo Electric Effect
• When a beam of light
sufficiently high frequency
strikes onto a clean metal
surface then the light will
cause electrons to leave the
surface.
• DEFINATION : the
phenomenon of emission of
electrons by the metals when
they are exposed to light of
suitable frequency is called
photo electric effect and
emitted electrons is called as
photoelectrons.
