    We have the Einstein relation for photoelectric effect as,

    h v = h vo + (1/2) m v^2 = h vo + 0.5 m V^2 ----(1)

    h = 6.625*10^-34 J S, the Planks constant, m = ...

    Solution Summary

    We have the Einstein relation for photoelectric effect as h v = h vo + (1/2) m v^2 = h vo + 0.5 m V^2.
