Question

The Photoelectric Effect

The energy required to remove an electron from a surface of a solid element is called its work function.
If a minimum of 440.9 kJ/mol is required to remove electrons from Rh atoms on a surface of a sample of rhodium, what is the maximum wavelength (λ_max) of light that can remove an electron from an Rh atom on this surface?
