Question
The photoelectric work function of a metal is the
minimum energy (of a photon) needed to eject a single
electron from the surface of the metal by irradiating it with
a wavelength of light with that minimum energy.
For potassium (K), the work function equals 3.669 x
10 19 J (per photon).
a) What is the minimum frequency ( v ) of the photon of
light required to eject an electron from the surface of
potassium metal?
