A Metal Surface Has a Work Function of 1

question 9

Short Answer

A metal surface has a work function of 1.50 eV. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of electrons ejected from this surface by electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 311 nm. (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s, h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s, e = - 1.60 × 10^-19 C, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10^-19 J)
