Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function 2.29 eV = 3.67 x 10-19 J.

Explanation:

Work function of potassium = 2.29 eV = 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

So the minimum energy of photon must be equal to 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J .

energy of photon of wavelength λ = hc / λ

where h = 6.67  x 10⁻³⁴

c = 3 x 10⁸

Putting the values in the equation above

6.67  x 10⁻³⁴  x  3 x 10⁸ / λ =  3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

λ  = 6.67  x 10⁻³⁴  x  3 x 10⁸ /  3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

= 5.452 x 10⁻⁷

= 5452 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

= 5452 A .

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
