When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300 nm falls on the surface of sodium, electrons, are emitted with a kinetic energy of 1.68 X 105 J mol-1. What is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from sodium? What is the maximum wavelength that will cause a photoelectron to be emitted?  - Zigya

What is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from sodium? What is the maximum wavelength that will cause a photoelectron to be emitted? 


The energy (E) associated with a 300 nm photon is given by
           E = hv
  
The minium energy needed to remove a mole of electrons from sodium
                              
The minimum energy for one electron
