Question: For a rectangular metal surface with dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm , the threshold wavelength for the photoelectric emission of electrons is 2 4

For a rectangular metal surface with dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm, the threshold wavelength for the
photoelectric emission of electrons is 246.0 nm.
(a) Calculate the work function of the metal surface.
(b) Calculate the wavelength of light that must be used in order for electrons with a maximum
kinetic energy of 2.3 eV to be ejected.
(c) If light of wavelength 300 nm and intensity 1.75 W/m2 is incident normally on the metal
surface, calculate the number of photons that strike the surface in a time of 30 seconds.
7.(B) After colliding with a free electron an x-ray photon is scattered through an angle of 700. The
wavelength of
