The work function of the following metals is given : Na 2.75 ev, K = 2.3 eV, Mo = 4.17 eV and Ni = 5.15 eV. Which of these metals will not cause photoelectric emission for radiation of wavelength 3300 Å from a laser source placed 1 m away from these metals? What happens if the laser source is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?

A 150 W lamp emits light of the mean wavelength of 5500 Å. If the efficiency is 12%, find out the number of photons emitted by the lamp in one second.
Consider Figure for photoemission.

How would you reconcile with momentum conservation? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons.
The work function of a metal is 2.31 eV. Photoelectric emission occurs when the light of frequency 6.4 × 1014 Hz is incident on the metal surface. Calculate

- the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron and
- the stopping potential of the surface.
