“In C6H8, the carbon atoms are connected in a chain. In a rough approximation, some electrons can be viewed as confined to a line with the length of this chain. C6H8 absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelength 357 nm, which causes an electron to change from the third lowest allowed energy to the...

If you are told that a silver surface is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 230 nm that causes electrons to be ejected with 77.67 kJ/mol of kinetic energy, how would you find the threshold frequency?
I know that threshold frequency = W / h. W is the work function and h is...
