Answer to Question #228012 in Electricity and Magnetism for Radiant

Question

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic radiation that ejects 2.00-ev electrons from calcium metal,given that the binding energy is 2.71ev,and what type of electromagnetic radiation is this?

Answer 1

$h\frac c{\lambda}=E_2-E_1,$

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E_2-E_1}=1.75\cdot 10^{-6}~m,$

infrared light.
