Question: ( Problem # 6 ) ( a ) When electromagnetic radiation with wavelength = 2 0 0 0 is incident on a clean tungsten plate

(Problem #6)
(a) When electromagnetic radiation with wavelength =2000 is incident on a clean tungsten
plate in a vacuum, the maximum kinetic energy observed amongst the electrons ejected is 1.64
eV. Calculate the threshold wavelength above which it will not be possible to eject electrons
from tungsten metal. Show your work and express your answer in nm.
(b) The maximum kinetic energy observed amongst electrons ejected from potassium metal by
electromagnetic radiation with frequency v=1.631015s-1 is 7.210-19J. Calculate the
wavelength associated with the motion of an ejected electron that has this maximum kinetic
energy. Show your method clearly and express your answer in nm.
