O Work function of the Aluminum is 4.08 eV. What is the threshold frequency required to produce photoelectrons from aluminum? Classify electromagnetic radiations that can produce photoelectrons. If light of frequency 4 x 1015 Hz is used to illuminate a piece of aluminum, then what is the maximum energy and speed of emitted photoelectrons? If the light described in part (ii) is increased by a factor of 2 in intensity, what would happen to the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons?
