Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  \(414 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(P.E.E.\) : \(\lambda \leq \frac{h c}{W_e}\)

\(\lambda \leq \frac{1240 \mathrm{~nm}-\mathrm{eV}}{3 \mathrm{eV}}\)

\(\lambda \leq 413.33 \mathrm{~nm}\)

\(\lambda_{\max } \approx 414 \mathrm{~nm}\) for \(P.E.E.\)
