A photomultiplier tube (a very sensitive light sensor), is based on the photoelectric effect: incident photons strike a metal surface and the resulting ejected electrons are collected. By counting the number of collected electrons, the number of incident photons (i.e., the incident light intensity) can be determined.

(a) If a photomultiplier tube is to respond properly for incident wavelengths throughout the visible range (410 nm to 750 nm), what is the maximum value for the work function W0 (eV) of its metal surface?

(b) If W0 for its metal surface is above a certain threshold value, the photomultiplier will only function for incident ultraviolet wavelengths and be unresponsive to visible light. Determine this threshold value (eV).
