what is the relation between stopping potential and work function of a given metal?

Dear student,

The stopping potential is the potential (energy/unit charge) or (Joules/Coulomb) that must be applied to stop the electrons from being ejected from the surface when the light is shone on it. If the energy of the incident photon is greater than the work required to remove the electron from the surface plus the applie (-) potential, electrons will leave the surface with some kinetic energy. The stopping potential is the applied potential that makes this KE=0

Kinetic Engery (KE) = stopping potential * electric charge of an electron.

KE = h*f - work

Hope this helps.

The number of moles in an elemental sample is just the ratio of the mass m to atomic mass 4. n= A The number of protons N, in an elemental sample is Z (atomic number) times the number of moles of Avogadro's number NA N=ZnN P A Copper has an atomic mass of 63.5 g/mole and 29 protons per atom. If such an atom were neutral, then it would have as many protons as electrons. If you remove electrons from a neutral state, then you get a net positive charge. Given a 54 gram ball of copper with a net charge of 2.2 µC, what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed?
