5. The human eye can detect as little as 2.5*10-16 joules of light. How many photons of green (510nm) light can your eye detect? How many photons of red (620nm) light can your eye detect? 6. An unknown metal sample is interrogated using a beam of X-rays to liberate electrons which are then caught by a detector that determines their kinetic energy. A beam of X-rays with wavelength 9.54nm irradiate the surface of this metal, and the detector observes electrons with kinetic energies equal to 7.3716*108 J. What is the binding energy of this unknown metal sample.
