Answer: 2.75×10^-7m

Explanation:

The work function refers to the smallest energy a photon must posses in order to cause the ejection of electrons from a metal surface.

If Eo= hfo

Eo=work function of the metal

fo=threshold frequency

h= Plank's constant

But Eo= hf= hc/wavelength

Wavelength= hc/Eo

We convert Eo to joules

4.50×1.6×10^-19=7.2×10^-19J

c=3×10^8ms-1

h=6.6×10^-34Js

Wavelength= 3×10^8×6.6×10^-34/7.2×10^-19

2.75×10^-7m
