Question
In Einstein's photoelectric experiment, the kinetic energy of an electron displaced from a metal by a photon was the difference between the energy of a photon and a threshold energy value for the metal. If you were to perform a similar experiment with cobalt, which has a threshold energy of 8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, and ultraviolet light of wavelength 29.5 nm, what would be the kinetic energy (in J) of the electron displaced?
