Find the constant C in units of eV-nm.

3. a) ln the photoelectric effect, light of a given wavelength is incident on a metal surface in a vacuum and, if the wavelength is short enough.c a uses electrons to be emitted. If W is the work function of the metal surface and T is the kinetic energy of the electrons, then their relation to wavelength is given b1'C/1,: T+W. Find the constant C in units of eV-nm.
b) If W : 4 .7 eY , what wavelength of light is required to barely eject an electron?
c) If W :4.7 eY andT : 1.5e V, what is the wavelength of the light?
