A radiation of wavelength 4.3 x 10^-7 m is shone on two different metal surface, nickel and potassium . (Speed of light 3.0 x10^8m/s, plank’s constant h as 6.63 x 10^-34 Js
i. Determine the energy of the incident radiation.
ii. If the work function of nickel is 8.0 x 10^-19J and that of potassium 3.68 x 10^-19J, which of the two metal will the given light eject electrons, state the reason.
iii. Calculate the velocity of the emitted electrons from the metal surface in (ii) above. (take the mass of an electron as 9.1 x 10^-31kg)

(Solved)
The maximum wavelength required to make possible photoelectric emission on a metal surface is irradiated with light f frequency 8.5 x 10^14 Hz.
Determine:
i. The threshold frequency.
ii. The work function of the metal in electron volts.
iii. The maximum kinetic energy f the electron.
Given that 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19J
Speed of light =3.0 x 10^8m/s
Plank’s constant h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js
