Answer:
The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is 303.7 nm
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the UV light, λ = 248 nm = 248 x 10⁻⁹ m
maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron, K.E = 0.92 eV
let the work function of the aluminum metal = Ф
Apply photoelectric equation:
E = K.E + Ф
Where;
Ф is the minimum energy needed to eject electron the aluminum metal
E is the energy of the incident light
The energy of the incident light is calculated as follows;
The work function of the aluminum metal is calculated as;
Ф = E - K.E
Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ - (0.92 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 1.474 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Ф = 6.546 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is calculated as;
