Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The work function of sodium in Joules is: \(\Phi = 2.3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 3.68 \times 10^{-19}\) J The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is: \(K = 2.8 \times 10^{-20} = 0.28 \times 10^{-19}\) J Using the photoelectric equation, the energy of the incident photon…
