𝑄
1,01 x 109 =
1,6 ×10−19

Q = 1,62 x 10-10 C (1,616 x 10-10 C)


Q = IΔt

1,62 x 10-10 = I (1)

I = 1,62 x 10-10 A  (4)

4.2.2 E = hf
E = 6,63 x 10-34 x 4,83 x 1014

E = 3,2 x 10-19J

E = hfo + ½ mv2 ✓

3,2 x 10-19✓ = 6,63 x 10-34 x 4,39 x 1014✓+ (½ )(9,11 x 10-31) v2✓

v = 2,5 x 105 m∙s-1✓ (6)

4.3 INCREASES

More photons/ packets of energy strike the surface of the metal per unit time.
(3)
Hence more (photo) electrons ejected per unit time (leading to increased current).
4.4 E = hf 

(3,3 x 10-19 - 1,8 x 10-19) = (6,63 x 10-34)f

f = 2,26 x 1014 Hz
