Question : 4 of 4
 
Marks: +1, -0
(a) Give an example each of a metal from which photoelectric emission takes place when irradiated by (i) UV light (ii) visible light. 3
(b) The work function of a metal is 4.50eV. Find the frequency of light to be used to eject electrons from the metal surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 6.06×10−19J. 3
Solution:
(a) (i) Photoelectric emission takes place when mathrmZn is irradiated with UV radiation.
(ii) Photoelectric emission takes place when mathrmNa is irradiated with visible light.(b) Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron
= Energy of incident photon - Work function
Or, 6.06×10−19=hv−4.5×1.6×1019
Or, hv=13.26×10−19
Or, v=(13.26×10−19)(6.6×10−34)
∴v=2×1015Hz
