a)

The work function is

W=2.7eV=4.32×1019JW=2.7 eV=4.32 \times10^{-19} J

b)

The threshold frequency is

f=Wh=4.32×10196.626×1034=6.52×1014Hzf=\frac{W}{h}=\frac{4.32 \times10^{-19}}{6.626 \times10^{-34}}=6.52 \times 10^{14} Hz

c)

The maximum wavelength is

λ=hcW=(6.626×1034)(3.0×108)4.32×1019=460nm\lambda =\frac{hc}{W} =\frac{(6.626 \times10^{-34})(3.0 \times10^{8})}{4.32 \times10^{-19}}=460 nm
