PHOTO-ELECTRIC EFFECT

1.1 In experiments to demonstrate the photoelectric effect, a beam of light with a


single frequency was shone onto a clean, potassium metal surface. The
maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons was measured. The
experiment was repeated with copper instead of potassium.

The work function of copper is double the work function of potassium.


Which ONE of the following maximum kinetic energy vs frequency graphs
below would best represent the results for copper (_____) and potassium (- - -
-)?
