Question

a. Electrons are ejected by the photoelectric effect when the surface of the metal rubidium is illuminated with 300 nm ultraviolet radiation. The kinetic energy of each electron was measured and found to be 3.3 x 10-19 J. What is the maximum wavelength of light that can remove an electron from a sample of rubidium? L
What would be the kinetic energy of the electrons if 240 nm light were used?


b. Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds. Decomposition of a sample of one such compound produced 4.45 g of fluorine and 1.25 g of sulfur, while decomposition of a different compound produced 4.43 g of fluorine and 1.87 g of sulfur.
Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for each, and show that these results are consistent with the Law of Multiple Proportions.


c. Teal-colored light has a wavelength of 491.4 nm. Express this as frequency and wave number.
