Photoelectric work function of a metal is 1 eV. Light of wavelength \( \lambda = 3000\text{\AA} \) falls on it. The photoelectrons come out with maximum kinetic energy of:

  1. A 5.13 ev
  2. B 4.13 eV
  3. C 3.13 eV
  4. D 2.13 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3.13 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{12400 \text{ eV} \cdot \text{Å}}{3000 \text{ Å}} = 4.133 \text{ eV}\) \(K_{max} = E - \phi = 4.133 \text{ eV} - 1 \text{ eV} = 3.133 \text{ eV}\)
