To calculate the wavelength of light incident on a material with a work function of 2.0 eV and a stopping potential of 1.0 V, we can use the photoelectric effect equation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Equation The maximum kinetic energy (K.E.) of the emitted electrons can be expressed as: \[ K.E. = E - \phi \] where \( E \) is the energy of the incident photons and \( \phi \) is the work function of the material. ### Step 2: Convert Work Function from eV to Joules ...
