To find the work function of the metal used, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We are given that the energy required to stop the emitted photoelectron is \(0.24 \, \text{eV}\). This energy represents the kinetic energy (\(KE\)) of the emitted photoelectron. ### Step 2: Calculate the energy of the radiation The energy of the radiation can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
