To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem We need to find the frequency of light that can eject electrons from a metal surface, which are then fully stopped by a retarding potential of 3.3 V. We also need to calculate the work function of the metal given that photoelectric emission begins at a frequency of \(8 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\). ### Step 2: Use Einstein's photoelectric equation According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the energy of the incident light is given by: \[ ...
