In a photoelectric effect experiment, the threshold wavelength of light is 380 nm. If the wavelength of incident light is 260 nm, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be
GivenE(in eV)=1237λ(in nm)

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

From Einstein’s photoelectric equation,
K.Emax=hcλ-hcλ0(here,λ0=threshold wavelength)
=1237260-1237380
=1237380-260380×260
=1.5eV
