Problem

Light emitted from a metal surface has a measured frequency of 7.85×1014 s−17.85\times10^{14}\,\text{s}^{-1}. Determine the energy of each emitted photon in electronvolts (eV). (Planck constant h=6.626×10−34 J sh = 6.626\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}; 1 eV=1.602×10−19 J1\,\text{eV} = 1.602\times10^{-19}\,\text{J})
