What is the work function for this metal

Reference no: EM13258015

Two light sources are used in a photoelectric experiment to determine the work function for a particular metal surface. When green light from a mercury lamp (? = 546.1 nm) is used, a stopping potential of 0.766 V reduces the photocurrent to zero.

(a) Based on this measurement, what is the work function for this metal?

(b) What stopping potential would be observed when using light from a red lamp (? = 700.0 nm)?
