The work function of a metal is 2.3 eV and the wavelength of incident photon is ` 4.8 xx 10 ^( -7) `m. Find maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons when a photon strikes a metal surface, we can use the photoelectric effect equation: \[ K.E. = E_{photon} - \phi \] Where: - \( K.E. \) is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons. - \( E_{photon} \) is the energy of the incident photon. - \( \phi \) is the work function of the metal. ...
