Answer:
The work function ϕ of the metal = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
Explanation:
When light is incident on a photoelectric material like metal, photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. This process is called photoelectric effect.
The relationship between the maximum kinetic energy () of the photoelectrons to the frequency of the absorbed photons (f) and the threshold frequency (f₀) of the photoemissive metal surface is:
= h(f − f₀)
= hf - hf₀
E is the energy of the absorbed photons: E = hf
ϕ is the work function of the surface: ϕ = hf₀
= E - ϕ
Frequency f = 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz
Maximum kinetic energy = 4.16×10⁻¹⁷ J
Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js
E = hf = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ x 8.12×10¹⁸
E = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
from = E - ϕ ;
ϕ = E -
ϕ = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ - 4.16×10⁻¹⁷
ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
The work function of the metal ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
To solve this problem it is necessary to express the term of the wavelength of continuous x-rays according to the Planck constant, the speed of light, the charge of the electron and the voltage. This definition is expressed mathematically as
Here,
h is Planck's constant
c is speed of light
e is charge of electron
V is the potential to which the electrons are accelerated.
From this definition we can see that the wavelength is independent of the mass of the target material. Therefore the wavelength will remain the same.
