In Einstein's photoelectric experiment, the kinetic energy of an electron displaced from a metal by a photon was the difference between the energy of a photon and a

threshold energy value for the metal.

If you were to perform a similar experiment with the › metal iron, which has a threshold energy of 7.48 x

10-19 J, and ultraviolet light of wavelength 55.5 nm, what would be the kinetic energy (in J) of the electron
