    Finding the work function using stop potential

    Apologies, but I have another photoelectron question. In this one I get a result that seems reasonable, however it does not show up on my list of work functions that I have available to choose from. The problem is: A photoelectric-effect experiment finds a stopping potential of 1.93V when...

    How Fast Do Photoelectrons Travel in Potassium Under 250 nm Light?

    Ok, so taking the K of 2.668 eV and converting to joules I got 4.3x10^-19, then plugging those results into the my final equation I ended up with 9.7x10^5 m/s which sounds much more reasonable, but I just want to double check that I did that portion correctly. Was that the result you ended up with?

    How Fast Do Photoelectrons Travel in Potassium Under 250 nm Light?

    Alright, I am having some trouble with the following problem, because my solution I arrive at seems to be way too large. The problem is: What is the maximum photelectron speed if potassium is illuminated with light of 250 nm? From that I have λ = 250 nm f = c/λ = 3x10^8 / 250x10^-9 =...
