gold is 4.90 e V and that
of cesium is 1.90 eV. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for the photoelectric
emission of electrons for gold and cesium.

the photon equal to the momentum of the electron?

the wavelength of the photon be 10 times that of the electron?
2.10 (a) The de Broglie wavelength of an electron is 85 Å. Determine the electron
energy (eV), momentum, and velocity. (b) An electron is moving with a velocity of
8 X 10° cm/s. Determine the electron energy (eV), momentum, and de Broglie wave-
length (in Å).
It is desired to produce x-ray radiation with a wavelength of 1 À. (a) Through what
potential voltage difference must the electron be accelerated in vacuum so that it can,
upon colliding with a target, generate such a photon? (Assume that all of the elec-
tron's energy is transferred to the photon.) (b) What is the de Broglie wavelength of
