The correct answer is:
3.7 eV
As
ratio of kinetic energy , as speed are in the ratio
K.E = Energy of incident photon – Work function (W)
.....(i)
and .....(ii)
By solving (i) and (ii)
ratio of kinetic energy , as speed are in the ratio
K.E = Energy of incident photon – Work function (W)
.....(i)
and .....(ii)
By solving (i) and (ii)
