Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a metal with a work function of 3.1 eV. Calculate the minimum frequency of light required to cause the photoelectric effect. What happens if the frequency is less than this value?
💡 Hint: Refer to how work function relates to frequency.
A photon of light hits a metal and ejects an electron with a kinetic energy of 2 eV. If the work function is 2.5 eV, what was the frequency of the light that struck the metal?
💡 Hint: Add kinetic energy and work function before applying Planck's constant.
