Q. In the photoelectron emission, the energy of the emitted electron is

AIPMTAIPMT 1994Structure of Atom

Solution:

In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the emitted electron is smaller than that of the incident photon because some energy of photon is used to eject the electron and remaining energy is used to increase the kinetic energy of ejected electron.
