The work function for mercury is equivalent to 435kJ/mol photons. What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of the ejected electrons when light of 188 nm strikes a mercury surface?
I know the equation for work function (w) is #E+w=hf# but I don't know where to go from there...
#w=435# kJ
I know the equation for work function (w) is

Einstein photo electric equation
#E_k+w=hf#
Where
where velocity of radiation
and wave length of radiation
