### Step-by-Step Solution **1. Influence of Work Function on Kinetic Energy of Emitted Electrons:** - The work function (φ₀) of a metal is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the metal. - The kinetic energy (K.E.) of the emitted electrons can be expressed using the photoelectric equation: \[ K.E. = h\nu - φ₀ \] ...
