A monochromatic light source provides 5 W of light of wavlength 4.40 x 10 ^ -7 m
This light falls on a clean potassium surface and liberates 3.2 x 10 ^ 11 photoelectrons per second.
The photoelectrons are collected by an electrode just above the metal surface and the photoelectric current measured.
Charge of Electron = 1.60 X 10 ^ -19 C
Speed of Light In Vacuum = 3.00 x 10 ^ 8 m/s
Explain whether or not photoelectorns would be emitted if a 20W source operating at a wavelength of 6.00 x 10 ^ -7m were used to be used.
The threshold frequency is 5.46 x 10 ^ 14 Hz
