How do you determine the threshold frequency for silver?

studyholi⚸ asked:


If you are told that a silver surface is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 230 nm that causes electrons to be ejected with 77.67 kJ/mol of kinetic energy, how would you find the threshold frequency? I know that threshold frequency = W / h , but I don’t know how to find W using the given information. Thanks!
