Hello there
The formula for Einstein's photoelectric effect is
KE=hv-phi
KE is the kinectic energy of the electron
h is the plancks constant
v is the frequency of incident light
Phi is the work function which is the minimum amount of energy an electron require to escape from a surface.It is constant for a material.Again it is given by the formula
Phi=hv0
Where v0 is called threshold frequency which is the minimum frequency at which an electron requires to break free.
