Answer

$f_{min}\approx 2\times10^{13}Hz$ $\lambda_{max}\approx 1 \times10^{-5}m$

Work Step by Step

Use equation 27–4, E = hf, and recall that $\lambda f = c$. $$E_{min}=hf_{min}$$ $$f_{min}=\frac{E_{min}}{h}=\frac{(0.1eV)(1.60\times10^{-19}J/eV)}{6.63\times10^{-34}J \cdot s }$$ $$=2.41\times10^{13}Hz\approx 2\times10^{13}Hz$$ $$\lambda_{max}=\frac{c}{f_{min}}=\frac{3.00\times10^8m/s}{2.41\times10^{13}Hz }\approx 1 \times10^{-5}m$$
