PART A: A metal surface is illuminated with photons with a frequency f=1.5×10^15 Hz. The stopping potential for electrons photoemitted from the surface is 3.6 V. What is the work function of the metal?
Answer= 2.6 eV
PART B: A certain metal has a work function ϕ. What is the maximum photon wavelength that will produce photoemission? Express your answer in terms of ϕ,Planck's constant h, and the speed of light c.
Answer= λ =hc/ϕ
PART C: Electrons emitted from a metal surface with a work function ϕ = 2.8 eV have a corresponding stopping potential of V0 = 3.6 V. If a metal with a work functionϕnew = 2.2 eV is illuminated by the same wavelength of light, what will be the new stopping potential? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
*Please answer Part C*
In a photoelectric experiment it is found that a stopping potential of 1.00 V is needed to stop all the electrons when incident light of wavelength 225 nm is used and 1.5 V is needed for light of
wavelength 207 nm.
From these data determine Planck's constant. (Enter your answer, in eV s, to at least four significant figures.)

Find the de Broglie wavelength À for an electron moving at a speed of 1.00 × 106 m/s. (Note that this speed is low enough that
the classical momentum formula p = mv is still valid.) Recall that the mass of an electron is me = 9.11 × 10-³1 kg, and
Planck's constant is h = 6.626 × 10-34 J.s.
