A when a photon of energy hv is incidnet on an electron in a metal of work function phi ( lt hv) , the electron will not necesserily come out of the metal . R : work function is the minimum energy required to liberate an electron out of a metal . So some electons may require more energy for their liberation .

A : Every metal has a definite work function , still all photoelectrons do not come out with the same energy it incident radiation is monochromatic . R : Work function is the minimum energy required for the electron in the highest level of conduction band to get out of the metal . Not all electrons in the metal belong to this level rather they occupy a continuous band of levels .
