Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface when illuminated with UV light of wavelength $\displaystyle 330$ nm. The minimum amount of energy required to emit the electrons from the surface is $\displaystyle 3.5 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}$. Calculate :
(i)
the energy of the incident radiation, and
(ii)
the kinetic energy of the photoelectron.
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
ii)i) Energy of incident radiation
$$\begin{aligned}
& E=h v=h \frac{c}{\lambda}
& =\frac{$\displaystyle 6.63$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 34$} \times $\displaystyle 3$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{$\displaystyle 8$}}{$\displaystyle 330$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 9$}}
& =$\displaystyle 6.027$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 19$} \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
$$ii) Kinetic energy of photoelectron
$$\begin{aligned}
\text { K.E. } & =E-\phi_{$\displaystyle 0$}
& =\left($\displaystyle 6$ \cdot $\displaystyle 027$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 19$}-$\displaystyle 3$ \cdot $\displaystyle 5$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 19$}\right) \mathrm{J}
& =$\displaystyle 2$ \cdot $\displaystyle 527$ \times $\displaystyle 10$^{-$\displaystyle 19$} \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
