  • The work function of caesium metal is 2.14 eV. When light of frequency 6*10^14 Hz is incident on the metal surface, photoemission of electrons occurs. What is the (c) maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons?

Q: 11.2 (c) The work function of caesium metal is2.14\hspace{1mm}eV. When light of frequency 6\times 10^1^4\hspace{1mm}Hz is   incident on the metal surface, photoemission of electrons occurs. What is the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons?

The electrons with the maximum kinetic energy of 0.34 eV will have the maximum speed

\\KE_{max}=0.34\ eV\\ KE_{max}=5.44\times 10^{-20}\ J\\ v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2KE_{max}}{m}}\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 5.44\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}\\v_{max}=3.44\times 10^{5}\ ms^{-1}
