Question
In Einstein's photoelectric experiment, the kinetic energy (K.E.) of an
electron displaced from a metal by a photon was the difference
between the energy of a photon and a threshold energy value for the
metal. If you were to perform a similar experiment with lead, which has
a threshold energy of 6.81 × 10-19 J, and ultraviolet light of wavelength
47.7 nm, what would be the speed (v) of the dislodged electron in
meters per second? (K.E. = 1/2mv². The mass of the electron = 9.109
x 1031 kg.)

Expert Solution
Step 1g

The question is based on the concept of photoelectric effect.

It is states that when radiation of proper intensity strikes the metal surface, IT results in an electron ejection.
