Question

Find the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from a certain material if the material's work function is $$2.3 \mathrm{eV}$$ and the frequency of the incident radiation is $$3.0 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{Hz}$$

Solution
Verified by Toppr

We use Eq. 38-5 to find the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons:
$$K_{\max }=h f-\Phi=\left(4.14 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{eV} \cdot \mathrm{s}\right)\left(3.0 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{Hz}\right)-2.3 \mathrm{eV}=10 \mathrm{eV}\\$$
