ENTER THE FINAL ANSWER TO PART B INTO THE ANSWER BOX BELOW.
An isolated conducting sphere of radius 10cm, initially uncharged, is illuminated by
ultraviolet light of wavelength 210nm. With each photoelectron emitted from the
conductor, there will be an increasing positive charge building on the surface of the
sphere.
A) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the first electron emitted from the
surface of the sphere?
B) What is total charge(maximum) that the photoelectric effect will induce on the
sphere? The work function for this conductor is 1.6eV. State the answer in pC to
the nearest hundredth of pC.
Take Planck's constant to be h=6.626**10-34J*s, the speed of light to be c=3**108
ms,1eV=1.6**10-19J, and the mass of an electron to be me=9.11**10-31
kg=0.511MeVc2.Take the permittivity of free space to be 0=14ke;
ke=8.99109Nm2C2
NOTE: 1pC=1 picoCoulomb =110-12C.1e=1.610-19C.
