Sulfur vapor is analyzed by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). Measurements determine that photoelectrons associated with the 1st ionization energy of sulfur move with de Broglie wavelength λ=5.091 A˚. What is the maximum wavelength (in meters) of radiation capable of ionizing sulfur and producing this effect?
