Question

a) What is the threshold frequency for the photoelectric effectof molybdenum (workfunction, = 4.2 eV)?
b) What is the stopping potential (in ev) if the wavelength ofthe incident light is 290 nm?


I got 1.013e15 Hz for part a, which I know is correct...butI'm not sure how to get part b. I'd appreciate any help!

Explanation / Answer

Then there's an error in the system. You and I both agree onhow to determine stopping potential, and our definition is the onethat is generally accepted by the physics community at large. . Webassign (or whatever your homework system is) does havemistakes. I've emailed the Webassign people myself several times tohave them correct the ones I've found. . Not sure what you want here... there is no magic answer. Theright answer is the one I gave you.
