Explanation:
Given: [tex]\lambda = 500\:\text{nm} = 5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}[/tex]
[tex]\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:= 6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz}[/tex]
The work function [tex]\phi[/tex] is then
[tex]\phi = h\nu = (6.626×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz})[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 3.98×10^{-19}\:\text{J}[/tex]
