Answer:
Explanation:
Energy of falling radiation having wavelength of 265 nm
= h c / λ where h is plank's constant , c is velocity of light and λ is wavelength of radiation . Putting the values
Energy of light photon = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 265 x 10⁻⁹
= .0747 x 10⁻¹⁷
= 7.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .
Work function of sodium is 4.41 x 10⁻¹⁹
So kinetic energy of ejected electron = energy of falling photon - work function
= 7.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ - 4.41 x 10⁻¹⁹
= 3.06 x 10⁻¹⁹ eV .
