Homework Statement
A magnesium surface has a work.func of 3.68eV. El.mag. waves with wavelenght of 215nm strike the surface and eject electrons. Find the max Ek of the ejected electrons in eV.
Homework Equations
E=Ek-W <=> Ek=(hc/lambda) - W
The Attempt at a Solution
I convert eV to J and nm to m but i get -3.68*10^10eV, but the answer is suppoused to be 2.10eV.
I even re did it but got the same answer, where em I going wrong?
Thanks
