To find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons ejected when light of wavelength 350 nm is incident on a cesium surface with a work function of 1.9 eV, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect describes how electrons are emitted from a material (like cesium) when it absorbs light (photons). The energy of the incoming photons must be greater than the work function of the material to eject electrons. ### Step 2: Use the Einstein Photoelectric Equation The maximum kinetic energy (K.E.) of the ejected photoelectrons can be calculated using the Einstein photoelectric equation: \[ ...
