Midterm Practice Test #4b

Postby Grace Lee 3G » Sat Dec 09, 2017 10:44 pm

A newly designed laser pointer with a certain frequency is pointed at a sodium metal surface. An electron is ejected from the metal surface with wavelength 1.10 nm. What is the frequency of the light from the laser pointer? The work function of sodium is 150.6 kJ∙mol-1.

I got 2.89 x 10^17 Hz and was just wondering if it was correct?
