Consider the electron of a Li2+ ion that undergoes a transition from a higher energy state n to its adjacent lower energy state n – 1 (e.g. n = 2→1, 3→2, 4→3, etc) and emits a photon. Suppose the emitted photon is used to strike the surface of potassium, which has a threshold frequency of 5.464 × 10^14 s–1. Given that n=5, calculate the maximum speed of the photoelectron from potassium.
