To solve the given problem, we will break it down into two parts: ### Part (a): Finding the Threshold Frequency for Cesium 1. **Understanding the Work Function**: The work function (φ) of cesium is given as 2.14 eV. To find the threshold frequency (ν₀), we need to convert this energy into joules. The conversion factor is 1 eV = 1.6 × 10^(-19) J. \[ φ = 2.14 \, \text{eV} = 2.14 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} = 3.424 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} ...
