Question

In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc surface. Which statement is true

Answer 1

Answer:

the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f> = Ф

Explanation:

In this experiment on the photoelectric effect, it is explained by the Einstein relation that considers the light beam formed by discrete energy packages.

                    K_max = h f - Ф

in the exercise phase, they indicate that different wavelengths can inject electrons, so the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f > = Ф
