a) What is the maximum initial quantum number, n, that is required in order to emit a photon with high enough energy to generate a photocurrent from the metal surface? b) Using the n value solved in part (a), calculate the maximum speed of the photoelectron from potassium. If you couldn’t solve for n in part (a), use n = 3.
