(a) If the work function for a certain metal is 1.8 eV, what is the stopping potential for electrons ejected from the metal when light of wavelength 400 nm shines on the metal? (b) What is the maximum speed of the ejected electrons?
A sheet of metal is illuminated by photons with a wavelength of 325 nm and the emitted electrons are found to have a maximum kinetic energy of 1.25 eV. If the same metal is illuminated by 225 nm light, what will be the maximum speed of emitted electrons? Give your answer in km/s to 3 significant digits.
(a) A photoelectric experiment is performed where green light with a wavelength of 546.1 nm is shined on a metal plate, creating a photocurrent from it to a collector plate. When the potential difference between the metal plate and the collector is increased to a magnitude of 0.686 V, the photocurrent goes to zero—in other words, this is the stopping potential. What is the work function (in eV) for this metal?
answer in eV
(b) The experiment is performed again with the same metal, but now red light with a wavelength 650.0 nm is shined on it. What is the new stopping potential (in V) in this case?
answer in V
