To solve the problem of calculating the maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted when radiation of wavelength 560 nm is incident on a metal with a threshold wavelength of 680 nm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect states that when light of sufficient energy (or frequency) hits a metal surface, it can eject electrons from that surface. The energy of the incident light must be greater than the work function of the metal for electrons to be emitted. ### Step 2: Use the Einstein Photoelectric Equation The Einstein photoelectric equation can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{incident}} = KE_{\text{max}} + \phi \] ...
