Find the threshold frequency and work function

Reference no: EM13720972

Question 1: A 1.0-mW laser with a 405-nm wavelength illuminate a sodium target. If 1 in 10⁵ incident photons generate photoelectrons, what is the photocurrent?

Question 2: In an experiment to measure Planck's constant, a metal target is illuminated with ultraviolet light. When the wavelength is 300nm, the measured stopping potential is 1.10 V. When the wavelength is changed to 200 nm, the stopping potential becomes 3.06 V.

(a) what value does this experiment yield for Planck's constants? What is the percent error for the accepted value of h?

(b) Using the experimental value of h, find the threshold frequency and work function for this metal.
