(choose chapter or problem)

The graph in Fig. E38.7 shows the stopping potential as a function of the frequency of the incident light falling on a metal surface.

(a) Find the photoelectric work function for this metal.

(b) What value of Planck’s constant does the graph yield?

(c) Why does the graph not extend below the x-axis?

(d) If a different metal were used, which characteristics of the graph would you expect to be the same and which ones would be different?
