Homework Statement
a. Does the photoelectric effect take place if mercury is illuminated with UV light with a wavelength λ = 300 nm? The cutoff wavelength for mercury is 250 nm.
Homework Equations
ft= WF/h(planks constant)
E=h(f)
The Attempt at a Solution
im not sure how to start this because the work function is not given and neither is the frequency i know that i can get the work function if i have the frequency by multiplying it with planks constant, but I am not sure how to get it with just the wavelength.
