Consider electrons at the surface of a metal whose work function is 2.4 eV. Laser light of wavelength 350 nm and power output of 100 mW is shone on this metal, and all the energy of each photon is absorbed by the electrons at the surface. If we model the de Broglie wave function of the electrons as plane waves, how many electrons per second do we expect to see ejected from the metal’s surface? (5) Hint: treat the work...
