An X-ray photon of wavelength 0.989 $\mathrm{nm}$ strikes a surface. The emitted electron has a kinetic energy of 969 $\mathrm{eV} .$ What is the binding energy of the electron in $\mathrm{k} \mathrm{j} / \mathrm{mol}$ ? $$\left[\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} m \nu^{2} ; 1 \text { electron volt }(\mathrm{eV})=1.602 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{J}\right]$$
