Hello student, in this problem we are given a graph of energy of electron versus frequency of the photon in a photoelectric effect experiment.
00:10
Now in the first part we are asked to find the threshold frequency.
00:14
Now threshold frequency is the frequency at which is the minimum frequency at which the electron starts coming out.
00:21
So from this graph we can see that threshold frequency threshold frequency in this graph is 3 into 10 to the power 14 hertz.
00:48
Now next we are asked to find out the work function of this material.
00:57
Now work function is the energy corresponding to the threshold frequency.
01:01
So work function w equals to h times nu so which is where h is planck constant so this will be 6 .626 into 10 to the power minus 34 times 3 into 10 to the power 14 joule.
01:18
So this is equal to 19 .87 into 10 to the power minus 20 joule.
01:31
Now next we are asked to express the work function in electron volt.
01:38
So the work function in electron volt will be 19 .87 into 10 to the power minus 20 divided by the charge of electron which is 1 .6 into 10 to the power minus 19 electron volt...
