JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3as023

Ultraviolet light of wavelength falls on a metal of work function . Find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons in eV, to two decimals. Use , , .

Numerical answer type, answer in eV, tolerance 0.02.

Answer: 2.68 eV

Photon energy = hc/ = 7.6454e-19 J = 4.778 eV. = E - W = 4.778 - 2.1 = 2.68 eV.
