3. 1 Metals
↳ de localised electrons move within the metal when an emf is applied across the ends
of a metal wire
↳ this to an electric current in the metal wire
gives rise
↳
if an electron is to escape from the surface of a metal ,
the electron must be
given
enough energy to escape from the surface of the metal
↳ when this
energy is provided in the form of light energy ,
the phenomenon is called
photoelectric emission
↳
photoelectric emission is the release of electrons from the surface of a metal when
electromagnetic radiation is incident (shone ) onto its surface
