Yes i tried but i am unable to solve it.Matterwave said:Did you try to do this problem yourself?

See according to Einstein equation KE(Max)= Energy of photons - work function of surface, but since work function is not given i have assumed itNascentOxygen said:Hi Nairabhi. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5725/red5e5etimes5e5e45e5e25.gif
What equations do you have that you'll use here?
The photoelectric effect threshold is the minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from a metal surface. This energy is known as the work function and is specific to each type of metal.
The photoelectric effect threshold is directly related to the frequency of light. If the frequency of light is below the threshold, no electrons will be emitted from the metal surface. If the frequency is above the threshold, electrons will be emitted with greater kinetic energy as the frequency increases.
The photoelectric effect threshold was a key discovery in understanding the nature of light and electrons. It provided evidence for the particle-like behavior of light and helped to develop the concept of photons. It also led to the development of modern technologies such as solar panels and photoelectric cells.
The intensity of light does not affect the photoelectric effect threshold. The threshold is only dependent on the frequency of light, not its intensity. However, increasing the intensity of light will result in a higher number of electrons being emitted from the metal surface once the threshold is reached.
The photoelectric effect threshold is a fundamental property of each type of metal and cannot be changed. However, the threshold can be altered by changing the type of metal used or by applying an external electric field to the metal surface.
