Answer

$2.13eV$, or $3.41\times 10^{-19}J$

Work Step by Step

First we need to find the work function of the material. $1.1eV = \frac{hc}{400 nm} = \frac{1240 eV-nm}{400 nm}-\phi$ $1.1eV = 3.1 eV - \phi$ $\phi = 2eV$ Now we just use our new wavelength $K = \frac{hc}{300 nm} - 2eV = \frac{1240 eV-nm}{300nm}-2eV$ $=2.13eV$
