Video Module Assessment
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2019 9:51 pm
Can someone explain this question in the video model assessment.
Molybdenum metal must absorb radiation with a minimum frequency of 1.09*10^15s^-1 before is can emit an electron from its surface.
The minimum energy needed to produce this effect id 7.22*10^-19J
If molybdenum is irradiated with 194 nm light, what is the maximum possible kinetic energy of the emitted electrons?
I got 6.41 J, but that seems to be the wrong answer.
Maybe I confuse the meaning of irradiated.
