A Photoelectric Surface Has a Work Function of 2

question 56

Short Answer

A photoelectric surface has a work function of 2.10 eV. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of electrons ejected from this surface by electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 356 nm. (1 eV = 1.60 × 10^-19 J, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s, h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s)
