Electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when it's exposed to
light. This is called the photoelectric effect. Each metal has a certain
threshold frequency of light, below which nothing happens. Right at
this threshold frequency, an electron is emitted. Above this frequency,
the electron is emitted and the extra energy is transferred to the
electron.
Here are some data collected on a sample of cesium exposed to various energies of light.

3.91
yes

*Note that 1 eV (electron volt) =1.60 × 10 1º J.
Also, since E = hv, the equation can also be written as
KE=E-6
