First, understand that the energy required to dislodge electrons is given in kJ/mol. To find the energy per photon, convert this energy to joules per photon. Use the conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J.
Next, calculate the energy per photon. Since 1 mole of photons contains Avogadro's number of photons (approximately 6.022 x 10^23), divide the total energy in joules by Avogadro's number to find the energy per photon.
Use the equation for the energy of a photon: E = h * c / λ, where E is the energy per photon, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s), c is the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength in meters.
Rearrange the equation to solve for the wavelength: λ = h * c / E. Substitute the values for h, c, and the calculated energy per photon into this equation.
Finally, convert the wavelength from meters to nanometers by multiplying by 10^9, since 1 meter = 10^9 nanometers. Compare the calculated wavelength to the given options to determine which one is correct.
