Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>
