Potassium and gold cathodes are used in a photoelectric-effect experiment. For each cathode, find:
1. The threshold frequency
2. The threshold wavelength
3. The maximum electron ejection speed if the light has a
wavelength of 210 nm
4. The stopping potential if the wavelength is 210 nm.
Throughout this problem, be sure to use 6.63 x 10^-34 J•s for Planck's constant.
Work function of Potassium is 2.2 eV
and of Gold is 5.1 eV
