Photoelectric Effect

William F. Coleman
Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481

Photoelectric Effect is a series of simulations of aspects of the photoelectric effect. There is an animation of the experiment with four choices of incident radiation - low and high intensity "red", to represent low energy light and low and high intensity "blue" to represent higher energy light. Electron production is animated and there is an ammeter to simulate current flow. Additional simulations show the effect of light frequency and intensity.

An Excel spreadsheet is included that allows students to choose a sample from among five metals. The spreadsheet includes several questions to be answered after working through the materials.
