With this simple application you can study the photoelectric effect from the length of incident light wave.

One can calculate the frequency and energy of the incident photons, frequency and threshold wavelength for various metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and others.

The application determines whether photoelectric effect occurs and if so the values ​​of the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons and the speed reached is.

relativistic limits are also considered and can be calculated energies and speeds consistent with special relativity of Albert Einstein.

In the "theoretical information" section you can study everything you need to understand the calculations performed in the step activity.

Ideal to complement the study of Modern Physics in any physics course.
