  • Q1 · Photoelectric Effect & Dual Nature · EASY

    The work function of a metal is 4.2 eV. Light of wavelength 200 nm falls on it. The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is approximately: (hc = 1240 eV·nm)

  • Q2 · Photoelectric Effect & Dual Nature · EASY

    The work function of a metal surface is 2.0 eV. When light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on the surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is: (h = 6.6 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s, 1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J)
