To determine which metals will show photoelectric emission when light of wavelength 412.5 nm is incident on them, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy of the incident photons The energy of a photon can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)), ...
