A beam of wavelength 310 nm from a laser is incident on a metal with work function 2.7 eV. The power of the laser is 0.15 W.

(a) Does the metal emit photoelectrons? Why?

(b) What is the range of photoelectron kinetic energies emitted by metal?

(c) What is the range of de Broglie wavelengths of these photoelectons?

(d) How does result for part (b) change if the laser power is doubled to 0.30 W?

Thank you.
