← On a graph of stopping potential against frequency, the straight line for a metal cuts the frequency axis at 6.8 × 10¹⁴ Hz. What is the work function of the metal? Use h = 4.14 × 10⁻¹⁵ eV s.
A red laser gives out light of wavelength 760 nm at a rate of 2.4 mW. About how many photons leave it each second? Use hc = 1240 eV nm and e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C. →
