Question

A metal foil has a threshold frequency of 5.45× 1014 Hz. Which of the colors of visible light have enough energy to eject electrons from this metal.

Answers

Convert 5.45E14 Hz to wavelength in meters and convert to energy required.
c = freq x wavelength
Then convert the low end and the high end colors (4000 Angstroms low end and 7000 Angstroms high end) to energy and compare.
yellow
green
