Background:


Electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when it's exposedto light. This is called the photoelectric effect. Each metal has acertain threshold frequency of light, below which nothing happens.Right at this threshold frequency, an electron is emitted. Abovethis frequency, the electron is emitted and the extra energy istransferred to the electron.

The equation for this phenomenon is

KE = hv - hv_0

where KE is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron, h= 6.63times 10^{-34}J * s is Planck's constant, v is the frequency of thelight, and v_0 is the threshold frequency of the metal.

Also, since E = hv, the equation can also be written as

KE = E - E_0

where E is the energy of the light and E_0 is the threshold energyof the metal.

Question:
