Photoelectric effect...

Image
Photoelectric effect ; when light of certain frequency strikes the surface of a metal, electrons are ejected from the metal surface. This phenomena is called photoelectric effect.  Cesium, which amongst the alkali metals has the lowest ionisation energy is metal from which electrons are ejected most easily by light. This metal is used in making electric cells.  Observation regarding photoelectric effect are;  1) for each metal, a certain minimum frequency of incident light is needed to eject electrons. This is known as threshold frequency.  2) The no.of ejected electrons from metal surface depends upon the intensity of incident radiations.

Isomers are define as the the chemical compounds having same molecular formula but different structural formula. On the basis of various types of arrangement we have the following classification of isomers...
