This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Kinetic Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Kinetic Energy is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Energy of Photon - (Measured in Joule) - Energy of Photon is the energy carried by a single photon. It is denoted by E.
Threshold Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Threshold Energy or work function of a particle is the minimum kinetic energy a pair of traveling particles must have when they collide.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Energy of Photon: 6000 Joule --> 6000 Joule No Conversion Required
Threshold Energy: 900 Joule --> 900 Joule No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

What is Photo-electric effect?

The phenomenon of ejection of electrons from the surface of the metal when the light of suitable frequency strikes is called a photo-electric effect. The electrons ejected are called photoelectrons. The minimum frequency required to eject the electrons is called threshold frequency. A part of the energy of a photon is used to escape the electron from the attractive forces and the remaining energy is used in increasing the kinetic energy of an electron.
