Question:medium

Photoemission of electrons occurs from a metal \((\phi_0=1.96\,\text{eV})\) when light of frequency \(6.4\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}\) is incident on it. Calculate: Energy of a photon in the incident light.

Show Hint

For photoelectric-effect problems, it is often convenient to express photon energy directly in electron volts: \[ E=h\nu. \] After finding energy in joules, divide by \[ 1.6\times10^{-19} \] to convert it into eV.
