When a Metal Surface Is Illuminated with Light of Wavelength

Question 24

Short Answer

When a metal surface is illuminated with light of wavelength 437 nm, the stopping potential for photoelectrons is 1.67 V. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, e = - 1.60 × 10-19 C, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, mel = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)
(a) What is the work function of the metal, in eV?
(b) What is the maximum speed of the ejected electrons?
