To solve the problem, we need to calculate the maximum possible wavelength (λ_max) of the light that can illuminate a metal plate with work function (φ) while allowing electrons emitted from the plate to revolve around a singly ionized ion fixed at a distance (r) from the plate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces Involved**: - The centripetal force required for the electron to revolve around the ion is provided by the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the singly ionized ion. - The centripetal force (F_c) can be expressed as: \[ ...
