← A photocell cathode needs 5.1 eV to release an electron. Ultraviolet light of wavelength 190 nm is shone on it. What collector voltage, in size, stops the current? Use hc = 1240 eV nm.
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. →
