If a minimum of 454.4 kJ/mol is required to remove electrons from Ru atoms on a surface of a sample of ruthenium, what is the maximum wavelength (λmax) of light that can remove an electron from an Ru atom on this surface? B) If the same ruthenium surface is irradiated with light of λ=144.3 nm, what is the maximum kinetic energy that a released electron could have?
