Question
Light of wavelength 20 nm is incident upon a sheet of metal of unknown type. Electrons are ejected from this metal, with a maximum kinetic energy of 10 eV (1 eV=1.6x10^-19
J).
a) What is the energy of an individual photon striking the surface of the metal?
b) What is the work function of the metal?
c) If the wavelength of light were shortened 4 nm, what would the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons be?
