A light of wavelength 500 nm falls on a metal surface, whose work function is 2.14 eV. The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is

  1. A 3.4 eV
  2. B 0.34 eV
  3. C 2.48 eV
  4. D 0.034 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.34 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{1240}{\lambda}\) \(E = \frac{1240}{500} \text{ eV} = 2.48 \text{ eV}\) \(KE = E - \phi\) \(KE = 2.48 \text{ eV} - 2.14 \text{ eV}\) \(KE = 0.34 \text{ eV}\)
