Solution Summary
The conceptual question about photoelectric effect is answered and explained.
Solution Preview
Photo-tubes operate on the principle of photoelectric effect. This effect is showing the particle nature of the light. When light of sufficiently small wavelength incident on the metal plate, the emission of electrons from the surface of ...
