What is the stopping voltage?arrow_forwardIf you are shining light on a Pt electrode and no electrons are emitted, what do you have to do to generate electrons? Decrease the wavelength of the light to increase the energy of the photons to emit electrons Electrons can not be emitted from Pt because like any other noble metal it does not react, even under light exposure (unlike other metals, e.g. Na, Sr or Cu) Increase the wavelength of the light to increase the energy of the photons to emit electrons Wait longer times or increase the intensity of the light source, since the energy of the absorbed light is not high enough to emit electrons from Pt surfacearrow_forward
