To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as requested. ### Part (a): Finding the Threshold Frequency for Cesium 1. **Identify the Work Function**: The work function (W) of cesium is given as 2.14 eV. We need to convert this into joules. \[ W = 2.14 \, \text{eV} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J/eV} = 3.424 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} ...
