a) The energy required to remove an electron from a surface of a
solid element is called its work function.
If a minimum of 423.6 kJ/mol is required to remove electrons from C
atoms on a surface of a sample of carbon, what is the maximum
wavelength (λmax) of light that can remove an
electron from a C atom on this surface?
b) If the same carbon surface is irradiated with light of λ=225.9 nm, what is the maximum kinetic energy that a released electron could have?
