Answer: When
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.
= change in enthalpy
P = pressure
= change in volume
=Change in internal energy
q = heat absorbed or released
w = work done on or by the system
Thus for ,
The heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in enthalpy of the system when
In the photoelectric effect, the energy given by the incoming photon is used partially to extract the electron from the metal (work function) and the rest is converted into kinetic energy of the electron:
where
hf is the energy of the photon, with h being the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon
is the work function
K is the kinetic energy of the electron
When K=0, we have the minimum energy required to extract the electron from the metal, so the equation becomes
(1)
If we convert the work function of gold into Joules:
We can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the minimum energy of the photon:
