Answer:
f = 7.9487 10¹³ Hz
Explanation:
The photoelectric effect was correctly explained by Einstein assuming that the radiation is composed of photons, which behave like particles.
hf = K + Ф
It indicates the frequency and the kinetic energy, let's look for the work function
Ф = hf - K
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
K = 0.332 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 0.5312 10⁻⁻¹⁹ J
let's calculate
Ф = 6.63 10⁻⁻³⁴ 6.64 10¹¹ - 0.5312 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 4.40 10⁻²² - 0.5312 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 5.27 10⁻²⁰ J
for the minimum frequency that produces photoelectrons, the kinetic energy is zero
hf = Ф
f = Ф / h
f = 5.27 10⁻²⁰ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴
f = 7.9487 10¹³ Hz
