Explanation:

Given: \lambda = 500\:\text{nm} = 5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}

\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}}

\:\:\:\:\:= 6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz}

The work function \phi is then

\phi = h\nu = (6.626×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz})

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 3.98×10^{-19}\:\text{J}
