(Solved)
The maximum wavelength of light required to cause photoelectric emission on a metal surface is 8.0×10-7. The metal surface is irradiated with light of freque4ncy 8.5 × 1014 Hz. Determine
i) The threshold frequency.
ii) The work function of the metal in electron volts.
iii) The maximum kinetic energy of the electron.
iv The maximum velocity of the emitted electrons.
(Take 1ev = 1.6×10-19J, C=3.0×108m/s, h=6.63×10-34Js and mass of electron = 9.11 × 10-31kg)
