g Radiation of an unknown wavelength is used in a photoelectric effect experiment on a sodium surface. The maximum kinetic energy of the observed electrons is 0.7 eV. What is the wavelength of the light

λ = 4.1638 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein assuming that the radiation acts like particles and the equation that describes the process is

           K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons, hf  the energy of the photons according to Planck's equation and Ф the work function of the material

In this case they give us the kinetic energy of the electrons

         K = 0.7 eV

The sodium work function is tabulated Ф = 2.28 eV

Let's find the frequency of the photons

            f = (K + Ф) / h

Planck's constant is

          h = 6.626 10⁻³⁴ J s (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J) = 4.136 10⁻¹⁵ eV s

            f = (0.7 + 2.28) / 4.136 10⁻¹⁵

            f = 7.2050 10¹⁴ Hz

let's find the wavelength using the relationship between speed and frequency and wavelength

            c = λ f

            λ = c / f

            λ = 3 10⁸ / 7.205 10¹⁴

            λ = 4.1638 10⁻⁷ m
