1 markIn a research experiment, a beam of electromagnetic radiation is incident on a clean metal surface. The purpose of the experiment is to find the work function energy (J).
The results in Figure 3 show the variation with frequency f of the maximum kinetic energy EMAX of electrons emitted from the surface.
