The work function of palladium (Pd) is 5.22 eV. What is the minimum frequency of light to observe the photoelectric effect from
a Pd surface? If light with a 200 nm wavelength is absorbed by the Pd surface, what is the velocity of the emitted electrons?
1 answer:
Answer:
1)4×10^13Hz
2) 9.95×10-9J
Explanation:
From the image attached, it is clear that the work function of the palladium metal must first be obtained in joules. Then, the frequency is obtained from E=hf.
The kinetic energy if the photoelectrons is obtained as the difference between the energy of the photon and the work function of the metal.
