cerium(Ce) metal must absorb a photon having energy of at least 4.65x10^(-19) J for an electron to be ejected by the photoelectron effect. What is the wavelength of light having photons of this energy? ____nm

Solutions

Expert Solution

E     = 4.65*10^-19 J

c   = 3*10^8m/sec

h    = 6.625*10^-34 j-sec

E    = hc/

    = hc/E

     = 6.625*10^-34 * 3*10^8 /4.65*10^-19    = 4.27*10^-7 m

                                                                    = 427*10^-9 m              [ 1nm = 10^-9 m]

                                                                     = 427nm   >>>>answer
