Question

The work function for silver is 4.73 eV. (a) Convert the value of the work function from electron volts to joules.

Answer 1

Answer:

$W=7.56\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The work function for silver is 4.73 eV.

We need to find the value of the work function from electron volts to joules.

We know that,

$1\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

For 4.73 eV,

$4.73\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.73\\\\=7.56\times 10^{-19}\ J$

So, the work function for silver is $7.56\times 10^{-19}\ J$.
