To solve the problem, we need to relate the energy of a photon to the kinetic energy of an electron, given that their wavelengths are equal. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Write the energy of the photon The energy \( E \) of a photon is given by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( c \) is the speed of light, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the photon. ...
