A monochromatic light beam is incident on the surface of a metal having a work function of 2.50 eV. If a 1.0-V stopping potential is required to make the electron current zero,
 
  what is the wavelength of light? (c = 3.00  108 m/s, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 355 nm
  B) 423 nm
  C) 497 nm
  D) 744 nm

Question 2

When it is struck by 240-nm photons, a material having a work function of 2.60 eV emits electrons. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons?
 
  (c = 3.00  108 m/s, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 2.58 eV
  B) 5.18 eV
  C) 2.00 eV
  D) 4.21 eV

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
