Question

Can X-rays be used for photoelectric effect?

Answer 1

Answer:Search

X-rays are electromagnetic wave. If the threshold frequency of a metal is lower than the energy of X-rays, then photoelectric effect happens

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes, for the photoelectric effect, the x-rays are used.

Explanation:

• Photoelectric effect is the electron emission from a metal surface when the radiation frequency is more than the metal’s threshold frequency.
• The photoelectric effect uses x-rays. For the photoelectric effect that uses x-rays, the incoming x-rays photon’s energy should be more than the metal’s work-function used.
• It is to be noted that the photoelectric effect is the release of other free carriers or electrons when the material is hit by the light.
