2. A photon of wavelength for 4 x10 -7 m strikes on the metal surface the work function of the metal being 2.13 eV. Calculate (i)the energy of the photon in
eV(ii) the kinetic energy of the emission(iii) velocity of the photoelectron
[1ev=1.602x10-19 J]

See explanation

Explanation:

Energy of the photon;

E = hc/λ

h= Planks constant

c= speed of light

λ = wavelength

E= 6.6 × 10^-34 × 3 × 10^8/4 x10 -7

E = 4.95 × 10^-19 J

If 1ev=1.602x10-19 J

x = 4.95 × 10^-19 J

x= 3.1 ev

From Einstein's photoelectric equation;

KE = E - Wo

Where;

KE = kinetic energy of ejected photoelectron

E= energy of the photon

Wo= work function of the metal

KE = 3.1 eV - 2.13 eV

KE= 0.97 eV

KE = 0.97 eV × 1.602x10-19 J

KE = 1.55 × 10^-19 J

KE = 1/2 mv^2

1.55 × 10^-19= 1/2 × 9.1 × 10^-31 × v^2

v= √2 × 1.55 × 10^-19/9.1 × 10^-31

v= 5.8 × 10^5 m/s

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
