s) The photoelectric effect can be used to generate power using a solar cell. Wewill use Aluminum for our cathode, which has work function = 4.26 eV. Since we want togenerate power, we will not be applying a voltage to the phototube.(a) The surface temperature of the sun is 5778 K. Assuming the sun is a perfect blackbody,at what frequency fpeak does the peak power of the solar radiation occur?(b) Assuming all the light hitting the solar cell has the frequency fpeak you found in part (a),what is the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from the Aluminum cathode ineV?(c) The solar power per square meter arriving at the Earth's surface on a clear day is about250 W/m², and our solar panel is a 1 m by 2 m rectangle. Assuming all the photonshave frequency fpeak that you found in part (a), how many photons are hitting the solarpanel per second?(d) If each photon hitting the solar panel ejects an electron with maximum kinetic energy(i.e. all the electrons are on the surface), and all the kinetic energy of the ejected electronsis converted to electrical power, how much total power does one solar cell generate inWatts?
