Question:medium

The work function of a substance is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately:

Show Hint

The longest wavelength corresponds to the threshold frequency at which the kinetic energy of the ejected electron is zero. Use the equation \( \lambda = \frac{h \cdot c}{W} \) to calculate the wavelength.
