I should also note that I don't think the photoelectric effect applies for a copper sphere at this particular wavelength. Using the following equation for the photoelectric effect: Kmax = hf - θ Where theta is the work function. In this case, it is copper which my text ( Serway &...

Hey BvU, thanks for responding so quickly! I'm certainly willing to use some assumptions if they're reasonable. That's the question as written unfortunately, so I think SOME assumptions need to be made. I don't think there is anything particularly novel about the radiation used. If I've...

Hello! I've been working on this physics problem for a physics II course and I'm stumped. Maybe someone can assist? Homework Statement A small insulated copper sphere of radius 0.001m is illuminated with radiation with wavelength 300nm. What is the maximum charge accumulation on this...
