When blue light (450 nm) is shone on a particular metal surface, electrons are ejected with a kinetic energy of 2.5 x 10-20 J. Calculate the work function for this metal.

the work function of the metal is 4.167 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the incident light, λ = 450 nm = 450 x 10⁻⁹ m

kinetic energy, K.E = 2.5 x 10⁻²⁰ J

The energy of the incident light is calculated as;

Apply Einstein photoelectric equation to determine the work function of the metal;

E = W + K.E

where;

W is the work function of the metal

W = E - K.E

W = 4.417 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 2.5 x 10⁻²⁰ J

W = 44.17 x 10⁻²⁰ J -  2.5 x 10⁻²⁰ J

W = 41.67 x 10⁻²⁰ J

W = 4.167 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work function of the metal is 4.167 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

a is the best answer your welcome

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
