(4) (i) Light shining on a metal surface produces photoelectrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 2.0 eV. The light intensity is then doubled. Now what is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, in eV?
(ii) The detector in an ordinary digital camera is made of silicon. This detector works by the photoelectric effect. The longest wavelength of light that an ordinary digital camera can detect has a wavelength of 1 micron (where 1 micron = 10−6 m). What is the work function of silicon, in eV?
(iii) Infrared cameras don’t use detectors made of silicon. For an infrared camera to detect infrared radiation with a wavelength of 22 microns, its detector must be made of a different material. What is the maximum possible work function of this material, in eV?
