![hν=φ+eV_0 φ=((hc)/λ)−eV_0 = (((6.626×10^(−34) ×3×10^8 )/(1.6×10^(−19) ×300×10^(−9) ))−6)eV = 4.14−6 <0 (Wrong data!).](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q61997.png)
$${h}\nu=\phi+{eV}_{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$$$\phi=\frac{{hc}}{\lambda}−{eV}_{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{626}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{34}} ×\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{8}} }{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{6}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{19}} ×\mathrm{300}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{9}} }−\mathrm{6}\right){eV} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\:\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{14}−\mathrm{6}\:<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({Wrong}\:{data}!\right). \\ $$
