(a) What is the threshold frequency for the photoelectric effect on lithium (We = 2.9 eV)?<br />

The lithium emitter has a work function of We = 2.9 eV. The important thing to remember is<br />

to not get confused with the units of energy (1 eV = 1.6 x 10 -19 Joules).<br />

The threshold frequency gives the photon energy (hν) that equals the work function of the<br />

emitter (We):<br />

Note the value of Planck's constant in eV.s was used instead of J.s to ensure that the units are<br />

correct.
