I) E = hv/wavelength =(6.626*10^-34)(3*10^8)/4*10^-7 = 4.9695*10^-19J ii)K.E=4.9695*10^-19/1.60*10^-19 =3.105eV

First of all we have to find the enenry(E) of Photon by using the Formula E=hc/λ here 'h' is the Plank's constant. 'c' is the Speed of light and λ is the wavelength Now we have to think what is the term "WORK FUNCTION" used in the Question WORK FUNCTION is the MINIMUM amount of...

First of all we have to find the enenry(E) of Photon by using the Formula E=hc/λ here 'h' is the Plank's constant. 'c' is the Speed of light andλ is the wavelength Now we have to think what is the term "WORK FUNCTION" used in the Question WORK FUNCTION is the MINIMUM amount of energy required to release a ELECTRON from the Metal It is given in the Question Now we are able to give the answer of the 2nd part of the Question i.e Kinetic energy of emission== Total energy of photon- Energy required for emission(work function) Now the question is WHAT IS THE VELOCITY OF PHOTOELECTRON?? From 2nd part of Question We know the Kinetic Energy of Photoelectron. Use the formula, K.E=½*mass*(velocity)² for the value of "mass of electron" , "plank's constant" and "velocity of light "use your book. THANK YOU read less

(ii) The kinetic energy of emission Ek is given by = (3.1020 – 2.13) eV = 0.9720 eV Hence, the kinetic energy of emission is 0.97 eV. (iii) The velocity of a photoelectron (ν) can be calculated by the expression, Where, (hv-hv0) is the kinetic energy of emission in Joules and ‘m’ is the mass of the photoelectron. Substituting the values in the given expression of v: v= 5.84 × 105ms–1 Hence, the velocity of the photoelectron is 5.84 × 105ms–1. read less
