Find the threshold wavelength of light that would produce photoelectrons for a silver surface . The work function for silver is 4.8 eV

Answer» Energy conservation for the photoelectric effect gives
`eV_0=hv-phi`
At threshold, the photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy, Solving for the wavelength yields
`lambda="hc"/phi`=259 nm
