Hello dear students, print the document and present it in class.
Thank you
Please be clear and well-organized
in all your steps.
1. Gold has a work function of 4.83 eV.
(a) What is the value of the threshold
frequency? I.e., what is the lowest frequency for electromagnetic radiation
incident on a gold surface if photoelectrons are to be emitted in the
photoelectric effect? Answer ___________
(b) Now suppose that ultraviolet light with a
wavelength of 150 nm shines on a gold surface. What is the stopping potential?
I.e., what is the potential of the collector relative to the emitter which will
barely prevent electrons from making it to the collector and producing a current?
Answer ___________
2. Our Sun has a surface temperature of about
6000 K. A particular blue giant has a surface temperature of 30,000 K. And a
particular red dwarf has a surface temperature of 3000 K.
(a) For each of these stars, determine λmax , the wavelength at the peak in
the plot of intensity versus wavelength. Sun ______________ blue giant _____________
red dwarf _____________
