Topics in Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

1

Photoelectric Effect

  • Photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a metal surface when light of sufficiently high frequency (above threshold frequency) is incident on it.
  • The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.
  • Threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of incident light below which no photoelectrons are emitted, regardless of intensity.
2

Wave-Particle Duality and de Broglie Hypothesis

  • Louis de Broglie proposed that just as light has dual nature, matter also exhibits wave-like properties.
  • Matter waves are also called de Broglie waves.
  • The wavelength associated with a moving particle is given by λ = h/p.
