In the experiment of $P.E.E.$,the $KE_{max}$ of an electron is $K_0$. If the frequency is increased by a factor of $n_1$,then the $KE_{max}$ becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function.

    $\left( \frac{n_2 - n_1}{n_1 - 1} \right) K_0$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{n_2 - n_1}{n_2 + n_1} \right) K_0$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{n_2 + n_1}{n_2 - n_1} \right) K_0$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{n_2 + n_1}{n_2 - 1} \right) K_0$

For a metal with a work function of $6.6 \text{eV}$, which of the following wavelengths of incident radiation does not cause the photoelectric effect (in $\text{nm}$)? (Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \text{J s}$ and speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{m/s}$)

In a photoemission experiment,the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons from metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $E_P, E_Q$ and $E_R$,respectively,and they are related by $E_P = 2E_Q = 2E_R$. In this experiment,the same source of monochromatic light is used for metals $P$ and $Q$,while a different source of monochromatic light is used for metal $R$. The work functions for metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $4.0 \ eV$,$4.5 \ eV$ and $5.5 \ eV$,respectively. The energy of the incident photon used for metal $R$,in $eV$,is:
