Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An electron in a metal absorbs a photon of frequency 7.5 × 10¹⁴ Hz. If the work function of the metal is 2.5 eV, determine the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron.

💡 Hint: Convert frequency to energy using Planck's constant.

Question 2

Consider a photon having an energy of 10 eV hitting a surface with a work function of 5 eV. What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron?

💡 Hint: Simple subtraction afterwards will help you find K_max.
