Question: 4 ] The work function for potassium is 2 . 2 5 eV . A beam with a wavelength of 4 0 0 nm falls

4] The work function for potassium is 2.25 eV. A beam with a wavelength of 400 nm falls on a potassium layer and photoelectrons are emitted. (a) Find the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons, [0.85eV](b) Take the intensity of incident beam as 10-9 W/m2 and find the number of electrons emitted per meter squared per second from the layer surface assuming that only 3% of the incident photons are effective in ejecting electrons.[6*107el /s*m2]
