Modeling the Photoelectric Effect on Photocells Using Python

Abstract

To simulate the laboratory work «Study of the Photoelectric Effect with External Photoelectric Effect» in Python, a program was developed that models the interaction of light with the surface of the metal and measures the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depending on the frequency of light. The program uses the matplotlib library to visualize the results and includes various blocks, such as library imports, definition of constants, functions for calculating kinetic energy and plotting graphs, as well as interactive widgets for changing parameters and observing results in real time.
