Electrons in a photoelectric effect experiment emerge from a tungsten surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.30 eV. What is the wavelength of the light? (Points : 20)
Explanation / Answer
hc/lemda = work function + Kinetic energy = W + 1.30 eV = 1.3*1.6*10^-19 = 2.08*10^-19 = hc / lemda
lemda = 6.626*10^-34 * 3*10^8 /2.08*10^-19 = 6.626*10^-7 *3/2.08 = 9.93 *10^-7 = 993 nm
