Homework Statement


When light is frequency 2,00 x 10(in 16force) Hz prostrate a metal surface electrons are abstracted with kinetic energy 7,50 x 10(in -18force) J.

Calculate:
(a) The frequency v0 for the metal (v0: the minimum frequency of light, below which no electrons emitted).
(b) The wavelength of the emitted electrons.
