The Particlelike Properties of Electromagnetics Radiation
Wei-Li Chen
10/27/2014
The Photoelectric Effect• The maximum current is proportional to the incident light
intensity.• There is no minimum intensity below which the current is
absent.
• V0 is independent of the incident light intensity.
• Higher frequency will cause higher Vs.
• Current occurs when the light frequency is above certain value. This threshold frequency varies for different target materials.
• There is no time lag between the turning on of the light and and the appearance of the electron.

X-ray• X-rays were discovered in 1895 by W. Roentgen. They are
electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is near the range from 1nm to 0.001nm. An X-ray photon carries energy 1keV or more.
• When high energy electrons hit metal target, the deceleration of electrons will generate electromagnetic radiation that is called bremsstrahlung.
• The most of the radiation are emitted near 90 degree to the direction of the electrons’ path.
• Strong characteristic X-rays produced by electron transitions between different energy levels superimpose on the bremsstrahlung spectrum.
• The characteristic peaks vary with different metal targets.• The X-ray spectrum drops to zero at a maximum feruency fmax which
follows Duane-Hunt law:0max eVKhf
Bragg Law• The size of the atoms in a crystal (~0.1nm) is
compatible to the wavelength of X-ray. In 1912 Laue suggested that a crystal can be used as 3D grating for X-ray.
• Bragg diffraction law:• Historically Bragg diffraction is an important tool to
study X-rays. Today Bragg diffraction is used to characterize the crystal structure and lattice constant.

Supplement for X-ray Diffraction
The Compoton Effect
• Electromagnetic radiation interact with an electron will cause it to oscillate at the same frequency. Therefore, according to classical physics, the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation after interact should remain constant. However, the scattered radiation wavelength becomes longer after collision.
• Compton derived the wavelength change of a photon after its collision with an electron based on energy and momentum conservation laws.
• The Compton effect proves that photons possess momentum, which is an essential characteristic of particles.

Blackbody Radiation
• The technology that utilize the dispersion of light into different colors (wavelength) is called spectroscopy.
• When an object reaches thermal equilibrium with the environment, its temperature will be constant. It continuously absorb and emit radiation with equal amount. The electromagnetic radiation emitted by such an object is called thermal radiation.
• A body that absorbs all radiation incident on it is called an ideal blackbody.
- Stefan-Boltzmann law: The power per unit area radiated by an blackbody. - Wien displacement law: λm is wavelength of maximum emission.• Any body that emits radiation at each wavelength in a constant ratio less
than unity to that emitted by a black body at the same temperature.• An opaque object under equilibrium will emit less radiation than a
blackbody. The ratio is called emissivity ε.

What is a photon
• Like EM wave, velocity is c.• No mass and rest energy• Carrying energy and momentum• Can be created and destroyed.• Can collide with other particles.
When a photon detected by the detector, it shows particle-like property.When it passes through the switch, it shows wave-like property.
