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
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
