Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5.1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega_1=3 \times 10^{15} rad / sec\)
\(\omega_2=12 \times 10^{15} rad / sec\)
\(\because \quad v=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}\)
\(E_{\text {photon }}=h v=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 1.91 \times 10^{15}\)
\(=1.26 \times 10^{-18} J\)
\(E _{\max }=\frac{1.26 \times 10^{-18}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \simeq 7.9 eV\)
\(K _{\max }= E _{\max }-\phi_0\)
\(=7.9-2.8\)
\(K _{\max }=5.1 eV\)
