To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect describes how light can eject electrons from a metal surface. The energy of the incoming photons must be greater than the work function of the metal to eject electrons. ### Step 2: Use the Photoelectric Equation According to Einstein's photoelectric equation: \[ K.E. = E - W \] ...
