What is a quantum of electromagnetic energy called?

An electron in an isolated atom undergoes a transition between two energy levels. The energy of the initial level is \(-1.51\text{ eV}\) and the energy of the final level is \(-3.40\text{ eV}\).

What is the wavelength of the photon emitted during this transition?

Monochromatic light of wavelength \(300\text{ nm}\) is incident on a metal surface. The work function of the metal is \(2.4\text{ eV}\). Photoelectrons are emitted from the surface. What is the minimum de Broglie wavelength of these emitted photoelectrons?

Which equation correctly represents the de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) of a moving particle with momentum \(p\)?

Light of frequency \(1.2 \times 10^{15}\text{ Hz}\) is incident on a metal surface, causing photoelectrons to be emitted. The work function of the metal is \(3.3 \times 10^{-19}\text{ J}\). Given that the Planck constant \(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34}\text{ J s}\), what is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?
