A photomultiplier tube converts light into electrical pulses. The first stage of this process is the \"photocathode\". If a material has a work function of 1.8 eV, what is the maximum wavelength of light which will produce electrons from the surface? Is this in the optical domain? If the \"quantum efficiency\" of the photocathode is 20%, how many electrons are produced by 1000 photons that have enough energy to overcome this work function? Chemically speaking, what elements are most easily ionized, so are appropriate for this purpose?
