Using λ0=hc/ϕ\lambda_0=hc/\phi with hc≈12400hc\approx12400 eV·Å and ϕ=3.313\phi=3.313 eV gives a threshold wavelength of about 37503750 Å.

Working

The threshold wavelength λ0\lambda_0 and work function ϕ\phi are related through the threshold frequency ν0\nu_0 by

ϕ=hu0=hcλ0 ⇒ λ0=hcϕ\phi = h u_0 = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda_0} \ \Rightarrow\ \lambda_0 = \dfrac{hc}{\phi}
