Section D
23. Ramesh and his younger brother Raju went to a shopping mall whose doors were automatic with self close and open. Raju asked Ramesh, that, “Why these doors are automatically open and closing without even a single touch?”. Ramesh was a graduate, but he did not know the exact reason behind this. Ramesh asked the same from his friend Rakesh who was junior to him Rakesh explained the whole phenomenon agilely to Ramesh and told that this whole phenomenon is based on photoelectric effect given by the great scientist Einstein.

- State the laws of photoelectric effect.
- Write photoelectric equation given by Einstein and define photoelectric current.
