Einstein's formula for kinetic energy of a photo electron is
$$ KE = h\nu - \phi$$
$$ h\nu = KE + \phi$$
Which basically says whatever energy you provide through radiation, a part of it will be used (but I would like to say 'wasted') in overcoming the work-function (that is in cajoling that electron to leave the bereavement and come out) and then the energy left will give it some speed.
The formula for nominal interest rate ##i## is
$$
i= r + L$$
##r## is the real increase in purchasing power (in %) and L is the inflation rate. So, whatever extra money the bank or government gives you as interest, a part of it will be wasted in coping up with the inflation and only remaining part will influence your purchasing power.
The mapping, that I have established above between two different equations of two very different sciences, is not any ground-breaking or even a knit-pick but just see how beautifully do they map, they almost get completely superimposed.
