Question
If work function of caesium metal is 2.14 eV , then calculate its threshold frequency.

Answer

Work function
$\phi=h v_0$
$2.14 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} v_0$
$v_0=\frac{2.14 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}$
$\begin{array}{l}=0.516 \times 10^{15} \\ =5.16 \times 10^{14} Hz\end{array}$

The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is $\frac{\mu_2}{\text{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\text{u}}-=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\text{R}}.$ Taking $\text{R}=\infty,$ show that this equation leads to the equation $\frac{\text{Real depth}}{\text{Apparent depth}}=\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}$ for refraction at a plane surface.
