4.4x10^-67/2[(9.11x10^-31)(1.6x10^-17)]
4.4x10^-67/2.92x10-47
=1.5x10^-18
P.D= 1.5x10^-18 x (1/(10x10^-11)^2)
=1.5x10^-18 x (1/1x10-20)
=1.5x10^-18(1x10^20)
=1.5x10^2
=150
that's why i an of the opinion that wavelength must be corrected

What do you mean? by "I an of the opinion must be correct"

I am referring to your teacher's reply which you wrote earlier that the P.D. should be !0^4 order ...that's why i am saying that unless wavelength gets changed to lower value the P.D. can not increase.. if you try only !0^-11 as wavelength you can get that order of P.D.

so basically, the wavelength won't allow for any higher P.D. than we are getting here. Basically if I list the work we just did it should explain to him why my answer is correct?

This is really silly though, I shouldn't have to explain this to him. He should of done the math him self and came to the conclusion my answer was correct. Praise be to drvrm! I appreciate you helping me teach the teacher. This feels great =) I asked for extra marks for the explanation.
