[@whatsinaname7289]

+DarkDuke 2015 What? You think we were duped by this vid or something? What do you mean by "it"? Do you mean the vid or Einstein's work? Well, if you have something of evidence to show against any of those two, I'll be more than delighted to know it! P.S. That wasn't a joke; I love science and would be really happy to know about any new scientific research or evidence on the topic!

[@Darkduke1000]

I mean that the photoelectric effect does not do anything at all to prove that light is particles and not waves. All it shows is that em waves effect electrons nothing more.

[@whatsinaname7289]

+DarkDuke 2015 Nice remark! I'm happy to find someone who reasons and thinks about what we call "accepted logic." I've thought in a similar way when I first learned that at my chemistry class, but you know, to be honest, 1- Particles push particles, and it somehow seems right that packets of concentrated energy (waves) act like particles (photons) that affect (or push) electrons. 2- We don't see below the surface; most chemistry courses (and almost all scientific courses, in fact, almost all education) sadly tell you what is (or what they think is) without telling you why it's so. So there might be some mathematical or scientific base on which this is made, which, of course, we don't get 'cuz it's harder for those who teach us to explain it. Finally, I wanna thank you for thinking and for having the guts to argue with Einstein, which proves, no person is infallible. There might be someone, later on in the future, who will disprove what we accept today as reality, just as we disproved what those before us thought to be reality, and I think this is one of the many beauties of science: we can always add to it. Oh, and speaking of adding, scientists have recently added 4 new elements to the periodic table, putting on the finishing touches after more than (well, I don't know when was the original periodic table made!) years!!!! Thanks again, for thinking!

That was very interesting thank you for the time spent to explain this phenomenon!

[@oxanamishina]

Very nice experiment! Great to do with students! One note about the presentation. The photo-effect CAN BE DISCRIBED with the WAVE theory of LIGHT if we take into account the quantum structure of the electron inside an atom (it was actually done soon after the atomic model was discovered). Here it is very interesting to notice that the very same photoelectric effect can be described by two models at the same time: quantumlight+clasical atom and classical light+quantum atom. Isn't it wonderful?! Well, now comes the question for you: "Which model to choose?"

[@lekunberriko1]

I agree with TheSoundsage, can you please explain clearly why you charge the rod, then touch the zinc, then remove the rod. also, the first time the UV light is introduced, i didn't know where the lamp actually was, so i was surprised to see the leaf going down. the second time the demo was done, i saw the lamp well.

[@Tulanir1]

Sorry for this late reply. Bringing the positively charged rod close to the zinc plate creates a positive potential in the plate to which electrons are attracted (opposites attract.) He introduces these electrons by touching the plate with his finger while the rod is close. If the rod weren't there, the potential in the plate would be neutral and no electrons would move into it. He then, crucially, removes the finger before removing the rod. If he removed the rod first, the potential would go neutral again and all the excess electrons would flow back into his finger. Hope this explains it.

[@hymavathijaladi3448]

Thank you for the demonstration sir. Sir, I have a question. How rejected electrons be replaced under photoelectric effect.?

[@Tulanir1]

The electrons don't have to be replaced - the reason they are being rejected from the plate is because the plate is negatively charged at the start of the experiment (at 0:54) which creates a potential in the plate due to excess electrons.

[@prasungupta]

Wow, beautiful demonstration 😊, simply awesome💗. I liked the way how easily entire set up is made with simple things. My opinion: I think Negatively charged Zinc is required so that once electron gets removed from it ,then don't come back(excess charge has tendency to go away from each other) BUT If we started with neutral metal, then photo-electrons would have come back again to metal due to attraction of nucleus. OVERALL enjoyed the demonstration ☺️👍👍

[@prasungupta]

👍👍

[@prasungupta]

At first I was expecting when he brought UV Lamp closer, then we will be "seeing" UV Light getting fall on zinc, ....but soon I realised it is UV ( "invisible light")... How easily one get carried away under the common expectations 😅😋

[@yeshvanthm9116]

That was really awesome! Thumbs up! Keep making such useful videos!

[@ahmetgazi5624]

Just by looking at electron deflection behavior, arriving at particle notion seems very crude. Increasing the Intensity of the wave may not deflect electrons out of the metal, because electrons also possess wave behaviour. Electrons are particles with wave characteristics at the outskirts of their self spin. Although visible light may not deflect electrons out of the metal, it still energizes them.

[@krishsatpati2476]

Nice explaintation sir!!! I understood everything

[@mehmoodhassan7065]

In the photoelectric effect experiment ¹ ²: - A metal plate, usually made of zinc, is connected to an electroscope. - The electroscope is an instrument that can read the presence and relative amount of charges. - The metal plate is negatively charged by bringing a negatively charged rod close to the plate without touching it. - The negatively charged rod attracts some positive charges from the hand onto the zinc metal, and the positive charges remain on the zinc metal after its contact with the hand is removed. - The needle of the electroscope should deflect to indicate that the metal plate and all the parts in the electroscope connected to it are charged. - When a UV light is shone on the plate, the deflection of the needle decreases or disappears, indicating that the metal plate has been discharged, i.e., it has lost its negative charges.

[@amitanand7534]

Why is it that this phenomenon cannot be described while thinking of light as a wave. Why is it that high energy waves can't knock electrons?

[@josephfarrell1813]

In the wave picture, frequency is not important. A wave of any frequency can have a large amplitude (call it brightness) and give enough energy to an electron to free it from the metal. But that idea fails, because visible light will never discharge the electroscope no matter how bright you make it.

[@shanthala1345]

"NCERT grade 12 physics part 2" pretty much explains it

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Because this effect is not about energy, but frequency. From 430nm to 750nm there's visible radiation. Upper, is UV, and X rays, and last, Gamma rays. Independently from it's energy.

[@Darkev77]

Drake Danos awesome explanation! However, why cant we just include frequency as a factor in the wave model, and say that in order for wave X to transfer its energy to an electron, its wave needs to be at least of frequency Y (threshold frequency). I still dont clearly see why a photon model should be implemented!

[@Darkev77]

Joseph Farrell why cant we just keep the wave-picture by saying that the “ejection” of the electrons only depends on the frequency of the wave not the amplitude. While intensity only increases the number of waves/strings being released from the light source. Why is the photon-picture necessary?

[@digguscience]

This is something that earned Einstein the Nobel Prize

[@halbdaf4615]

[@poopyakuza8891]

At 1:04 why is the gold leaf still negatively charged even though the rod is away from it

[@aarushchaubey516]

the rod makes induces a dispersion in the metal and leaves. Positive charges get attracted to the metal and negative to gold leaf. gold leaf separate out due to the the negative-negative repulsions

[@RNHRK]

Great job.Simple and precise

[@amelieli8704]

Does anyone confuse about the induction part? I suppose the glass rod hold in the hand is negatively charged after rubbing with the cloth (not positively charged mentioned in the video), so the metal plate can be positively charged after induction. Then the electrons will flow to the metal plate when it is earthed. The whole process can end up with exceed of electrons remaining on the metal plate and leaf.

[@yutong9127]

I was also confused when I watched this, and then did some reading i came up with the same conclusion as yours

[@Tulanir1]

There was no lie in the video; the rod is positively charged. Bringing the rod close to the zinc plate creates a positive voltage in the plate without charging it. This is why the leaf rises at 0:59. Now that the top of the plate has a positive voltage, electrons move onto it from his finger when he touches it. When he removes his finger again, the electrons are trapped on the plate.

[@amaansiddiqui2376]

How can we be sure that it's not discharging because the big metal UV light is near it? Similar to the rod but opposite charge?

[@6l816]

Then, the lamp should do the job even if it is off and the gold leaves should rise again when you remove the UV lamp

[@jerryadore591]

Thanks very much sir am a physics students but don't understand this until I came across your video 😂😂😂 thanks Prof

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Could it be that photons give energy, and this is what triggers the creation, hence, the release of electrons? An exchange of energy, instead of a particle colliding model?

[@ranwaalsheikh5105]

It's not a particle colliding model that would be Compton's effect What happens is that like you said about electrons receiving energy. There's no exchange the electrons absorb the photons and if the energy of the photon equal to or more than what we call work function (which a certain amount of energy necessary to extract the electron from the metal) it can "jump" outside of the metal. if the energy of the photon was more than the work function the rest is converted to kinetic energy and the electron can go on for a certain distance.

[@jonahansen]

I don't understand how, if the perspex rod is positively charged, the induction and then grounding by touch leaves a negative charge in the electroscope. If the perspex is positively charged, bringing it near the plate should draw electrons into the plate, and then grounding it by touch should allow them to leave, leaving th electroscope with a positive charge. What am I missing?

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Bro takes an object that has an electrical charge and puts it in close proximity to his apparatus to induce an effect. Then he takes the UV lamp, which is another object with an electrical supply and places it in proximity to his apparatus. For all we know it was the placing of the UV lamp right next to the zinc plate that caused a discharge of electrons, and may have nothing to do with lightwaves.

[@nityanandadas5575]

I follow your nice demonstration. I get the photoelectric effect using zinc . But, it is not being possible using Aluminum. I think, work function of Aluminum is 4.28 eV and for Zinc this is 4.33. What may be the problem? Please.

[@schmetterling4477]

The problem is that aluminum in air is covered by a thick and very well insulating oxide layer. The electron simply can't get through that. One can probably prepare a fresh aluminum surface without oxide layers in an inert atmosphere and then it should work. It's a lot of effort for very little effect, though.

[@haalandpersone]

do you understend frensh?

[@ross350tube]

So, The higher frequency of the UV light is increasing the rate of oxidisation, right? hence the importance of giving it a scrub before the experiment. That is how it is discharging. Could this experiment still work if the zinc plate was surrounded in a gas that prevented oxidisation?

[@ross350tube]

As zinc absorbs UV light, so it is used in sunscreen, I don't see how this experiment confirms an interaction with a particle of light. It's just a frequency of light is close enough to the resonance frequency of the zinc structure, allowing energy to be absorbed and increasing the rate of oxidisation.

I have a few questions Why was it that you put your finger down to discharge the golden leaf and then put the charged rod back on it? Also if you were to continue shining UV light on it why didn't the golden leaf apparatus get positively charged and so the golden leaf come move back out as electrons would have still be lost from the zinc plate?

[@vibodhj349]

Answer to your first question- To show us that the rod is positively charged which by induction makes the metal zinc plate negatively charged.(Rubbing it with that cloth makes it positively charged because the cloth is positively charged because of the fact that the negative charges are taken by the cloth by forcefully removing the negative charges) Answer to your second question- Because light is not charged.After light removes all the negative particles aka electrons the zinc metal plate becomes neutral. And because light is not charged, induction or any other charge transfer does not take place. HOPE THAT HELPED.

[@aarushchaubey516]

​@@vibodhj349 No, the finger wasn't to show us anything. If there was no finger used, no touching involved, the the electroscope leaves just come back to their closed position. The rod negatively charged, when brought near the plate, the plate separates out it's species, that is the positive and negative charges, positive staying there, negative going to the gold leaves. Then he uses his finger to take all the positive charges via him into the earth, leaving a imbalance and a net negative charge on the setup.

the ruler is positively charged after being rubbed so when it is brought near a surface (the plate), the electrons migrate to the surface as positve and negative attract each other. this is charging by induction.

[@6l816]

The rod gets positively charged when rubbed. When he brings the rod close to the plate, electrons in the electroscope are attracted to the rod, which makes the plate negatively charged while the leaves positively charged. When he touches the plate, some of the electrons in his body move into the electroscope. This makes leaves electrically neutral. The plate is still negatively charged because of the positive charge of the rod. When he lifts the finger and then, bring the rod away, the excess electrons in the plate are distributed throughout the entire electroscope. This makes leaves negatively charged and rise.

@@yutong9127 The plate is never earthed. It is neutral at the beginning of the experiment (but that doesn't matter). The positively charged perplex rod creates a positive voltage field around it.

When he removes the rod, the only remaining voltage source is the excess electrons that are now on the plate.

Which wavelength of uv light is needed for this experiment to work?

[@User-ts2jj]

(facepalm)

[@forresterickson6225]

The non quantitative answer is You need a wave length shorter than the work function of the metal sample from which you are trying to knock off electrons. From the wikipedia page on Work Function the value for Zn (Zinc) is 3.63 - 4.9 and the unit is eV. (Why the range????) From the wikipedia page on Visible Spectrum the energe in visible light ranges from 1.6 (for red) to 3.26 (for violet) which is a bit shy of that required to liberate electrons from Zn. So ultra violet with a wave length of just a bit shorter (rough guess of (3.63-2.26)/3.26 or 11% shorter) than Violet should do it for the zinc with the lowest work function.

[@nicolashortiguera9432]

Thank you. I was able to do the experiment using a UV-C light and aluminium.

"From the wikipedia page on Work Function the value for Zn (Zinc) is 3.63 - 4.9 and the unit is eV." ==Ok, let's calculate the minimum wavelength for the UV light required. Convert 3.63 eV to J. E = 3.63 eV * 1.602176565e-19 J = 5.81590093095e-19 J Use E/h = v to find the frequency of the light v = 5.81590093095e-19 J / 6.62607004e-34 J.s = 877,730,071,647,416 Hz Let's convert that to a wavelength value with c/v = lambda lambda = 299792458 m/s / 877,730,071,647,416 Hz = 3.4155e-7 m lambda = 3.4155e-7 m = 341.55 nm

He could have done a better job explaining how, without touching the rod to the plate the negative charge was transferred to it.

Charge was only transferred from the finger. The rod is positive, not negative. The rod being positive attracts electrons toward it from his finger into the plate, which is close to the rod. When he releases his finger from the plate, the electrons are trapped on the plate.
