(II) Show that the energy E (in electron volts) of a photon whose wavelength is A (nm) is given by 1.240 x 10° eV·nm E = λ (nm) Use at least 4 significant figures for values of h, c, e (see inside front cover).
(ii) A silicon detector contains a photoconductive layer of thickness 1 = 20mm. The refractive index of silicon is 4 and the absorption coefficient (a) of silicon in cm-1 is given by a = 10(7-6000) where I is wavelength in Å. Calculate the wavelength at which the quantum efficiency loss due to penetration through the device is equal to that due to re- flection at the surface.
II) What is the maximum kinetic energy of electronsejected from barium(Wo = 2.48eV) when illuminated bywhite light,λ =400 to 750 nm?
