AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum wavelength of light that can cause the photoelectric effect in lithium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Work Function The work function (Φ) is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a material. For lithium, the work function is given as 2.5 electron volts (eV). ### Step 2: Relate Work Function to Wavelength The energy of a photon (E) can be expressed in terms of its wavelength (λ) using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] ...
