Solutions:
2000B5
a)
i) 4.5 eV or 7.2 x 10^-19 J
ii) 1.26 x 10⁶ m/s
b) 183 nm
c) 5.56 x 10¹⁴ Hz

1980B3
a) The graph should be straight forward, but you SHOULD know that all four points cannot be on the same line!
b) 0.75 x 10¹⁴ Hz
c) 3.1 eV
d) Energy of electrons is 5 eV according to data, so the stopping potential will be 5 volts.
e) Charges move in circular paths when they are in a magnetic field perpendicular to their velocity. This is a possible reason for this behavior.

19. The shortest visible wavelength photons have energies of 3.1 eV (400 nm wavelength). Copper and Iron have work functions that are greater than this, so they will not eject photo electrons in visible light.

a) 3.49 x 10^-19 J or 2.179 eV.
b) 0.930 V
