Homework Statement
Barium has a work function of 2.48 eV. What is the longest wavelength of light that will cause electrons to be emitted from barium?
Homework Equations
W = hf○
hf = W + Ek
E = hf = hc/λ
The Attempt at a Solution
1 eV/1.6e-19 C = 2.48/X
X = 3.97e-19
W=hf○
3.97e-19/6.63e-34f
f=5.99e14 Hz
Now I'm lost...Anybody care to help? :)
