Answer the following questions: (d) Every metal has a definite work function. Why do all photoelectrons not come out with the same energy if incident radiation is monochromatic? Why is there an energy distribution of photoelectrons?

a. Every metal has a definite work function. Why all photoelectrons do not come out with the same energy of incident radiation in monochromatie ? Why there is an energy distribution of photoelectrons? b. The energy and momentum of an electron are related to the frequency and wave-length of the associated matter wave by the relations, E=h upsilon, p=(h)/(lambda) But while the value of lambda is physically significant, the value of upsilon (and therefore the value of the phase speed upsilon lambda has no physical significance. Why?
