Calculate the quantum of energy for a radiation.
State the formula for the energy of a photon.
The quantum energy of radiation is given by Planck's relation:
where is Planck's constant and is the frequency of the radiation.
Substitute the given values.
We are given J s and Hz.
Calculate the energy.
The quantum energy of the radiation is .
Part 2
Work function and photoelectric effect.
Part a
Express the work function in Joules.
Convert the work function from eV to Joules.
The work function is given as 3.0 eV.
The conversion factor is 1 eV J.Calculate the work function in Joules.
The work function in Joules is .
Part b
Determine the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons and the threshold frequency.
Convert the wavelength to meters and calculate the energy of the incident photon.
The wavelength nm.
We know that 1 nm m.
So, m.
Planck's constant J s (for this part).
The speed of light m/s.
The energy of the incident photon is given by:Calculate the energy of the incident photon.
Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
The photoelectric effect equation is , where is the maximum kinetic energy.
Therefore, .
We have J (calculated previously).To subtract, we need to have the same power of 10:
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is .
Calculate the threshold frequency.
The threshold frequency is the minimum frequency required to eject an electron, and it is related to the work function by .
Therefore, .
We use J and J s.Calculate the threshold frequency.
The threshold frequency is .
