TUTORIALS ON PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT 1. For a copper surface irradiated by light of wavelength = 184.

.9 nm, the stopping potential Vs was 2.72 eV. Find the threshold frequency o, the work function o and maximum energy of the photoelectrons. 2. The photoelectric threshold of sodium is 542 nm. Calculate the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons released when Na is irradiated with 435.8 nm. 3. Calculate the linear momentum of the fastest photoelectrons in problem 2, and compare it with the momentum of the incident photons. 4. A surface is irradiated with light of wavelength = 546.1 nm giving rise to photoelectrons for which Vs = 0.18 V. When the radiation of = 184.9 nm is incident on the same surface, the stopping potential Vs2 =4.63 V. Evaluate h by taking e = 1.602x10-19 C, and calculate the work function and the threshold frequency. 5. A surface of cesium is illuminated with monochromatic light of different wavelengths and the stopping potential are determined. The data are as follows (nm) Vs (V) 589.6 0.12 546.1 0.28 435.8 0.86 404.7 1.08 366.3 1.39 330.3 1.78 303.9 2.11 253.7 2.92

Find the work function and Plancks constant. 6. A metal plate is 5 m away from a monochromatic source of 10 -3 W output. Consider that a given ejected photoelectron can collect its energy from a circular area of the plate as large as ten atomic diameters (10-9 m) in radius. The work function of the metal is 5.0 eV. Assuming light to be a wave, how long would it take for such a target to get this much energy?
