Answer #2

Energy of the light beam

   eV

eV

As the stopping potential is equal to 1.67 V, so the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is

  

  eV.

a)

From the energy conservation in Photoelectric effect we know that, for a surface having work function W,

So, the work function of the metal is

   eV.

b)

For non-relativistic limit , the kinetic energy relation is given by
