Use the KEmax-versus-frequency graph. What is the threshold frequency for this metal?

Use the graph. With J*s, what is the work function of the metal?

On a KEmax-versus-frequency graph for the photoelectric effect, what physical quantity is represented by the slope of the straight line?

The graph shows one metal. If it is replaced by a metal with a larger work function, how would the KEmax-versus-frequency line change?

In the apparatus, ultraviolet light produces a current. It is replaced by red light below the metal's threshold frequency and made much brighter. What does the meter read?

In the apparatus, the light frequency stays above threshold, but the intensity is doubled. What should the meter show?

A filter in the apparatus lowers the incident light from above threshold to below threshold while the lamp remains bright. What happens at the meter?

In the apparatus, the photon rate stays about the same but the frequency is increased above threshold. What meter change is most likely?

A dim ultraviolet lamp ejects electrons instantly, but a very bright red lamp ejects none from the same metal. What does this show?
A lamp above threshold is made brighter without changing its color. Which quantity increases most directly?
Green light is just below a metal's threshold frequency. Why will waiting longer not eventually eject electrons?
Blue light ejects faster electrons than yellow light from the same metal, even when the yellow light is brighter. Why?
