Explanation / Answer

   a.   1   eV   =   1.6* 10-19   J       Workfunction      =   4.12eV   =   4.12 * 1.6 *10-19          =   6.592* 10-19      J    b.   Cutofffrequency   f0   =   / h    f0   =   6.592* 10-19 / 6.62 *10-34   =   9.958 *1014   Hz    c.   Maximumwavelength   0   =   c/ f0   =   3.0 *108 / 9.958 * 1014          0   =   3.0126* 10-7   m    d.   Photoelectric equationis          Kmax   =   h*f   -      =   E   -       Here   E   =   Energyof incident photons    Kmax   =   8.3   -   4.12   =   4.18   eV    d.   Kmax   =   e* V0          Stoppingpotential   V0   =   4.18eV /e   =   4.18   V          Stoppingpotential   V0   =   4.18eV /e   =   4.18   V
