PROBLEMS 7.56, 7.57
In a photocell, ultraviolet (UV) light provides enough
energy to some electrons in barium metal to eject them
from the surface at high speed. To measure the maximum
energy of the electrons, another plate above the barium
surface is kept at a negative enough potential that the emitted
electrons are slowed down and stopped, and return to the
barium surface. See Fig. 17-46. If the plate voltage is –3.02 V
(compared to the barium) when the fastest electrons are
stopped, what was the speed of these electrons when they
were emitted?
