Answer to Question #105442 in Physics for Sophie

Question

light of frequency 5.0 * 14 h e r t z library electrons with energy .31 x 10 to the power - 19 joules from a certain metallic surface . Calculate the wavelength of ultraviolet light which liberates electrons of energy 8.93 10* 19 J from thesame surface

Answer 1

$$hf=A+E$$

$$hf'=A+E'$$

$$h(f'-f)=E'-E$$

$$(f'-5\cdot10^{14})=\frac{8.93\cdot10^{-19}-0.31\cdot10^{-19}}{6.63\cdot10^{-34}}$$

$$f'=1.3\cdot10^{15}Hz$$
