- In the equation above, w is called the work function and it is the minimum energy required to dislodge an electron from the metal's surface. The value of w varies from metal to metal, Using Einstein's formula for the energy of a photon, The work function is related to the threshol frequency (and thresk wave length) as follo we obtain the following expression for the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons: hc w = hv.= (KE), = hv - w = h(v-v This result helped Einstein explained observations (1) and (2). Since (KE). = mv must be greater than zero (i.e. m is positive and v is positive), then we know that v must be greater than ve: Also, a plot of (KE). versus v should be linear and the value of h is obtained from the slope of the line! The value of h was expected to be (and found to be) equal to 6.626x10-34 J s! The "appearance" of h in another physical situation suggested that Planck's quantum hypothesis was not that crazy after all.
