- When you shine a certain source of EM radiation on a sheet of gold (work function W1 = 5.1 eV), the stopping voltage required to bring all the ejected electrons to a halt is V = 3.5 V. If you were to use this same source of EM radiation on a sheet of potassium (work function W2 = 2.3 eV), what would be the maximum speed of ejected electrons?arrow_forwardSuppose a cyclotron is operated at an oscillator frequency of 11.2 MHz and has a dee radius 41.9 cm.
