To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work function of the metal using the given data. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - **Intensity (I)** of the light source = 5 mW = \(5 \times 10^{-3}\) W - **Number of photons emitted per second (N)** = \(8 \times 10^{15}\) photons/s - **Stopping potential (V₀)** = 2.0 V ### Step 2: Calculate the Energy of Each Photon ...
