Calculate the kinetic energy of the electron when ultra violet radiation of frequency 1.6 * 1015/s strikes the surface of potassium metal .Threshold  frequency of potassium is 5 * 1014 /s
i want to know which principle is applicable and why?

1use
Einstein's photoelectric equation,
hf=hfo+KE
6.6x10-34x1.6x1015=6.6x10-34x5x1014+KE
Now find the value of KE!!!!
Here,f0 is called as threshold frequency!!
If satisfied,rate me!!!

i used k.e = h (v - vo)

v = freq.
vo = threshold freq.

Problem) Calculate the kinetic energy of the electron when ultra violet radiation of frequency 1.6 * 1015/s
 
strikes the surface of potassium metal .Threshold 
 
frequency of potassium is 5 * 1014 /s
 
which principle is applicable and why?
 
Solution) It is a problem of photoelectric effect (PEE)
 
because of the phenomenon involved
 
Kinetic energy of photo electron is where given by
 
K.E = hf - hf0
 
Where, f = frequency of the incident photon
 
and f0 = Threshhold frequency for PEE to take place.
 
h = planck's constant.
 
Thus, KE = h x (1.6 * 1015  -  5 * 1014 )
 
or, KE = h x 9 x 1014
 
or, KE = 6.626068 × 10-34 x 9 x 1014  J
 
or, KE = 6.626068 × 10-34 x 9 x 1014  / (1.6 x 10-19) eV
 
solve to get KE in eV.

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.

but the result is for maximum kenetic energy

wat about the average kinetic energy
any idea please ?
