The work function of palladium (pd) is 5.22 ev. what is the minimum frequency of light to observe the photoelectric effect from a pd surface? if light with a 200 nm wavelength is absorbed by the pd surface, what is the velocity of the emitted electrons?

1)4×10^13Hz

2) 9.95×10-9J

Explanation:

From the image attached, it is clear that the work function of the palladium metal must first be obtained in joules. Then, the frequency is obtained from E=hf.

The kinetic energy if the photoelectrons is obtained as the difference between the energy of the photon and the work function of the metal.
