c - speed of light (ms^-1)

Question 3

(Define symbols and units)

Answer 3

E - photon energy (J)

h - Planck’s constant (See Data Sheet - J s)

f - photon frequency (Hz)

Question 4

(Define symbols and units)

Answer 4

E_k - kinetic energy of emitted electron (J)

h - Planck’s constant (see data sheet - J s)

f - light/photon frequency (Hz)
