Problem

Light with a wavelength of 450 nm450\,\text{nm} is just sufficient to cause photoemission from a surface. What is the corresponding work function of the surface in joules? (a) 7.4×10−20 J7.4\times10^{-20}\,\text{J} (b) 4.4×10−19 J4.4\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} (c) 3.0×10−19 J3.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} (d) 4.4×10−18 J4.4\times10^{-18}\,\text{J}
