Question : 2 of 4
 
Marks: +1, -0
4. (a) Calculate the frequency of a photon of energy 6.5×10−19J.
(b) Can this photon cause emission of an electron from the surface of Cs of work function 2.14eV ? If yes, what will be maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron?

Solution:
(a) Frequency of photon =Eh
∴ Frequency =v=6.5×10−196.6×10−34=1015Hz
(b) work function of Cs=ϕ0=2.14eV
Threshold frequency =v0=ϕ0h
=2.14×1.6×10−196.6×10−34=0.5×1015Hz
Since the energy of incident photon is more than the threshold frequency, emission of photoelectrons will be possible.
KEmax= Energy of incident photon − Work function
∴KEmax=6.5×10−19−2.14×1.6×10−19
=3.1×10−19J
