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 |
