When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300 nm falls on the surface of sodium, electrons are emitted with a kinetic energy of 1.68 ×105 J mol–1. The minimum energy needed to remove an electron from sodium and the maximum wavelength that will cause a photoelectron to be emitted are, respectively:

1. 2.31 × 105 J mol–1, 517 nm

2. 23.1 × 105 J mol–1, 517 nm

3. 3.31 × 105 J mol–1, 417 nm

4. 33.1 × 105 J mol–1, 417 nm
