The phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it absorbs electromagnetic waves is called the photoelectric effect. Visible light shines energy on a metal sheet with energy enough for the metal sheet to emit electrons. In order to measure the energy of these electrons, another negatively charged plate (-24.8 V with respect to the metal sheet) is placed in the path of the electrons. The electrons slow down upon contact with the negatively charged plate and stop. What is the initial speed of these electrons?
The electrons in a particle beam each have a kinetic energy K. Find the magnitude of the electric field that will stop these electrons in a distance d, expressing the answer symbolically in terms of K, e, and d. Should the electric field point in the direction of the motion of the electron, or should it point in the opposite direction?
eV is a unit used in nuclear physics for the energy of particles. If an electron's charge is 1.6 * 10^-19 C, and its mass is 9.1 * 10^-31 kg, what is the speed of an electron with 1 eV kinetic energy to one significant figure?
A) 600000 m/s
(B) 5000000000 m/s
(C) 2200 m/s
D) 40000 m/s
