Hi there.
I am a student from Spain and I am about to join the University but I have to pass physics at High School.
Here It is:
The work of extracting an Eletron in a metal is 3.8 eV. Calculate the minimum frequency needed to start the electron.
This is what I did.
[tex]\[E = \phi + Ec\][/tex]
Regarding to Einstein's equation of photoelectric effect:
[tex]\[h\nu = h\nu _0 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \][/tex]
When I got to this point, I assumed that the electron's velocity would be zero and then:
[tex]\[\nu = \frac{{3.8}}{{6.63\cdot10^{ - 34} }} = 5.73\cdot10^{33}[/tex]
Hertzios
Is everything alright?
