The maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from a sheet of uranium exposed to 250 nm ultraviolet light is 1.33 EV.

What is the work function of the uranium metal? (Planck's constant (h) is 6.626 × 10-34 J∙s, c is 3.0 × 108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.6 × 10-19 J)

Respuesta :

Answer: The maximum kinetic energy KEe of ejected electrons (photoelectrons) is given by KEe = hf − BE, where hf is the photon energy and BE is the binding energy (or work function) of the electron to the particular material.

Explanation:

The work function of the uranium metal will be given by the value 7.9*10^-19

What is work function?

The work function of a particle is defined as the product of the planks constant to the frequency of the particle.

[tex]\phi=h\times f[/tex]

Now the frequency will be given as

[tex]f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]

So the formula will become

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]

h=6.626 × 10-34 J∙s

c=3.0 × 108 m/s

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = 250 nm 250* 10^-9

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-26}\times3\times 10^{8}}{250\times 10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]\phi=7.9\times 10^{-19}[/tex]

Hence the work function of the uranium metal will be given by the value 7.9*10^-19
