Knowledge you need to have:
Knowledge you need to have:
Knowledge that the photoelectric effect is evidence for the particle model of light.
Knowledge that photons of sufficient energy can eject electrons from the surface of materials (photoemission).
Knowledge that the threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of a photon required for photoemission.
Knowledge that the work function of a material is the minimum energy of a photon required to cause photoemission.

Skills you need to develop:
Use of an appropriate relationship to solve problems involving the frequency and energy of a photon.
Use of appropriate relationships to solve problems involving the mass, maximum kinetic energy and speed of photoelectrons, the threshold frequency of the material, and the frequency and wavelength of the photons.
