Electrons ejected from the surface oa a metal ,when light of certain frequency is incident on it ,are stoppeed fully by a retarding potenital of 3V. Photoelectric effect in this metallic surface begins at a frequency 6xx10^(14)s^(-1) .The frequency of the incident light in s^(-1) is [Planck's constant =6.4xx10^(-34) Js, charge on the electron =1.6xx10^(-19)C]

When a beam of photons of a suitable frequency strikes the metal surface, electrons are emitted from metal. This process is called photoelectric effect. The effect occurs when energy of incident beam is greater than that of the work function. Kinetic energy of photoelectron varies with
