What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV

Sagot :

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons
