Homework Statement
For an incoming light shining on a metal surface, I am given the wavelength, the cutoff voltage, the frequency (by using f = c/w). From here, I am having trouble finding the maximun Ek of the ejected electrons in electron volts (eV) and joules (J).
Homework Equations
Ek max = eV
E = hƒ = hc / λ
Ek max = E (photon) - work
The Attempt at a Solution
Im guessing that i can use the equation Ek max = eV by substituting in the cutoff voltage and the charge on an electron to get the Ek max in joules, but then how do I get it in electron volts? Is there a conversion factor, or another equation I use??
PLz help..
