To solve the given problem, we will break it down into two parts as stated in the question. ### Part (a): Finding the Threshold Frequency 1. **Understanding the Work Function**: The work function (φ) of a metal is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the metal. The relationship between the work function and the threshold frequency (ν₀) is given by the equation: \[ φ = hν₀ ...
