Work Function Values Are Often Given in Electron Volts (1 $\times$

question 131

Multiple Choice

Work function values are often given in electron volts (1 eV = 1.602 $\times$ 10^-19J) .You create an oxide material that has a work function of 6.10 eV.How many electrons would be emitted from the material per second when it is irradiated by the 172 nm light of a 55.0 watt xenon excimer lamp,and what is their kinetic energy? Assume all of the incident photons cause electron emission.

• A)none; 172 nm is not energetic enough
• B)8.70 \(\times\) 10¹⁷ electrons; 8.70 \(\times\) 10^-19 J
• C)4.78 \(\times\) 10¹⁹ electrons; 1.73 \(\times\) 10^-19 J
• D)5.5 \(\times\) 10¹⁷ electrons; 5.40 \(\times\) 10^-17 J
• E)1.86 \(\times\) 10¹⁶ electrons; 5.37 \(\times\) 10^-17 J
