When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 2000 nm is incident on a metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy
Question:
When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 2000 nm is incident on a metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons released is found to be 4.0 × 10−20 J.
Calculate the work function of the metal in joules (J).
You will need these values to answer questions:
Speed of light in a vacuum c = 3.00 × 108 m s−1
Planck constant h = 6.63 × 10−34 J s
Mass of electron me = 9.11 × 10−31 kg
Elementary charge e = 1.60 × 10−19 C
