The work function for calcium is 277 kJ mol-1. Light from a helium discharge lamp with a wavelength of 381.96 nm was used to irradiate the calcium metal. Determine whether photoelectrons will be emitted and, if so, what the kinetic energy of these electrons would be.

The photoelectric work function of a metal is the minimum energy required to eject an electron by shining light on the metal. The work function of calcium is $4.60 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}$. What is the longest wavelength of light (in nanometers) that can cause an electron to be ejected from calcium metal.
The work function of calcium metal is $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$, which corresponds to light with a wavelength of $432 \mathrm{~nm}$. Which of the following will cause a largest number of electrons to be ejected from cesium? (a) High-amplitude wave with a wavelength of $400 \mathrm{~nm}$ (b) Low-amplitude wave with a wavelength of $400 \mathrm{~nm}$ (c) High-amplitude wave with a wavelength of $450 \mathrm{~nm}$ (d) Low-amplitude wave with a wavelength of $450 \mathrm{~nm}$
