Question

A.) The work function of a certain metal is ? = 2.65 eV. Determine the minimum frequency of light f0 for which photoelectrons are emitted from the metal. (Planck's constant is: h = 4.1357E-15 eVs.)

B.) Determine the corresponding wavelength of light. (Possibly useful constant: hc = 1240 eVnm.)

C.) Calculate the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons if the frequency of the photons is doubled to 2f0.

Hint : Use Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect. Try to use electron-Volt units instead of Joules.

Explanation / Answer

E = hf
2.65ev = (4.1357
