Detailed Solution

Work Function from Photoelectric Data

Work Function Calculation

If kinetic energy of photoelectrons changes from K1 to K2 as wavelength changes from λ1 to λ2:

Work function (φ) is: φ = (h c / λ1) - K1 = (h c / λ2) - K2

Or rearranged: φ = [K1 λ2 - K2 λ1] / [λ2 - λ1] (where h and c included for full units)

Variables

  • h: Planck's constant
  • c: Speed of light
  • λ: Wavelength of incident light
  • K: Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons
