The correct Answer is:
To find the work function for photoelectric emission given the threshold wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Threshold wavelength, \( \lambda_0 = 330 \, \text{nm} \) 2. **Convert the wavelength from nanometers to meters:** - \( 1 \, \text{nm} = 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Therefore, \( \lambda_0 = 330 \, \text{nm} = 330 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) 3. **Use the formula for work function:** - The work function \( \phi \) is given by the formula: \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0} \] - Where: - \( h \) (Planck's constant) \( = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \) - \( c \) (speed of light) \( = 3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) 4. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ \phi = \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s}) \times (3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s})}{330 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}} \] 5. **Calculate the numerator:** \[ 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3.00 \times 10^8 = 1.9878 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{J m} \] 6. **Calculate the work function:** \[ \phi = \frac{1.9878 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{J m}}{330 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}} = \frac{1.9878 \times 10^{-25}}{3.30 \times 10^{-7}} \approx 6.01 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \] 7. **Final result:** - The work function \( \phi \approx 6.01 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \) ### Conclusion: The work function for photoelectric emission is approximately \( 6.01 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
