In his explanation of the threshold frequency in the photoelectric field, Einstein reasoned that the absorbed photon must have the minimum energy required to dislodge an electron from the metal surface. This energy is called the work function (@) of that metal. What is the longest wavelength of radiation (in nm) that could cause the photoelectric effect in W, where o = 4.41 x 10 19 J? nm

Spectroscopists have observed He+ in outer space. This ion is a one-electron species like a neutral hydrogen atom. Calculate the energy of the photon emitted for the transition from the n = 5 to the n = 3 state in this ion using the equation: En = − Z2/n2 (2.179 × 10−18 J). Z is the positive charge of the nucleus and n is the principal quantum number. In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this radiation lie?
