$2.13(10)^{-19} J$

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

If the light is a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy.

This is what Einstein proposed:

Light behaves like a stream of particles called photons with an energy

E=h.f (1)

Where:

$h=6.63(10)^{-34}J.s$ is the Planck constant

is the frequency

Now, the frequency has an inverse relation with the wavelength $\lambda$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

Where $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum and $\lambda=400nm=400(10)^{-9}m$ is the wavelength of the absorbed photons in the photoelectric effect.

Substituting (2) in (1):

$E=\frac{h.c}{\lambda}$ (3)

So, the energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the Work function $\Phi$ of the metal and the maximum kinetic energy $K_{max}$ of the photoelectron:

$E=\Phi+K_{max}$ (4)

Rewriting to find $K_{max}$ :

$K_{max}=E-\Phi$ (5)

Where $\Phi$ is the minimum amount of energy required to induce the photoemission of electrons from the surface of a metal, and its value depends on the metal:

$\Phi=h.f_{o}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}}$ (6)

Being $\lambda_{o}=700nm=700(10)^{-9}m$ the threshold wavelength (the minimum wavelength needed to initiate the photoelectric effect)

Substituting (3) and (6) in (5):

$K_{max}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda}-\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}}$

$K_{max}=h.c(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{o}})$ (7)

Substituting the known values:

$K_{max}=(6.63(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)(\frac{1}{400(10)^{-9}m}-\frac{1}{700(10)^{-9}m})$

$K_{max}=2.13(10)^{-19} J$ >>>>>This is the maximum kinetic energy that ejected electrons must have when violet light illuminates the material

Answer from: Quest

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
