An experiment is performed where light of different frequencies is shined on a copper plate. The work function for copper is 4.70 eV.

(a)

What is the lowest frequency (the "cutoff" frequency, in Hz) of light incident on copper, below which no photoelectrons will be emitted from its surface?

Hz

(b)

What is the longest wavelength (the "cutoff" wavelength, in nm) of light incident on copper, above which no photoelectrons will be emitted from its surface?

nm

(c)

Photons of energy 6.09 eV are incident on the copper plate. What is the maximum kinetic energy (in eV) of the ejected photoelectrons?

eV
