Answer #1

Energy of photon = plank constant * frequency

= 6.626*10^-34 * 1.32*10^15

= 8.74632*10^-19 joules

Total energy = threshold energy + kinetic energy

= 8.75*10^-19 - ( 7.18*10^-20) = KE

= 8.032*10^-19 Joules

Use again energy formula

= 8.032*10^-19 = 6.626*10^-34 * frequency

Frequency = 1.21*10^15 s-1
